Should it be necessary to charge several batteries at the same time, where possible, series connection is recommended
(see diagram 1). In case of parallel connection (diagram 2) the charging current of each battery is the amperage shown
on the charger ammeter divided by the number of batteries connected to the charger.
The indications given by the ammeter of the battery charger, in case of sulphated batteries with defective or shorted
cells, will not be correct.
USE AS A BATTERY CHARGER (
• Determine the voltage of the battery to be charged (fig. 1 and 2).
• Connect the negative cable (with black clamp) to the terminal on the battery charger indicating the output voltage rate
corresponding to the voltage of the battery to be charged (fig. 3).
• Connect the clamps to the battery: red one (+) to positive pole and black one (-) to the negative pole.
• Warning: ensure to have done correct connections (fig. 4).
• The positive pole of the battery has a larger diameter than the negative one.
• If the battery is fitted to the vehicle, determine which pole is earthed to the vehicle chassis (consulting the instructions
manual of the vehicle).
• If the vehicle is positive earth, connect black clamp (-) to negative battery terminal and red clamp (+) to vehicle
chassis far away from the battery and from the carburettor duct; if, on the contrary, the vehicle is negative earth,
connect red clamp (+) to positive pole of battery and connect black clamp (-) to vehicle chassis, following the same
precautions as above outlined.
• Connect the charger to the mains supply (fig. 5), place the switch on "CHARGE"
intensity of the current by the switches 1 - 2 and min - max (fig. 7 and 8). Switch on the machine by the switch O – I
(fig. 9).
• When the battery is fully charged, switch off the battery charger (fig. 10), disconnect it from mains supply (fig. 11),
then remove the clamps from the battery (fig. 12 and 13). If the battery is on a vehicle, after having disconnected the
charger from the mains supply, first disconnect the charger clip that is connected to the chassis and then the clamp
connected to the battery terminal.
