3. Reverse Polarity
If the DC battery clamps are connected improperly to the battery terminals, the reverse polarity LED will
indicate the reversed polarity. The battery charger's warning buzzer will also sound. If this occurs simply
disconnect the battery charger from the AC power. Connect the DC clamps correctly to the battery terminals.
Reconnect the charger to the AC power.
4. El proceso de carga
The battery charger is now in the Standby operating mode and the "12V" and "POWER" LEDs are illuminated.
This is the standard charging mode and as soon as the START button is pressed, the charger switches
immediately into the 12V battery charging mode.
If you require an alternative selection, proceed as follows:
Step 1
Select the desired battery voltage: 6V or 12V.
Step 2
Press the "START" button to begin charging the battery.
Battery Fault a few seconds after switching on to the operating mode, the LED indicator "FAULT" will illuminate
if the following occurs:
A- Low battery voltage - < 3 V
B- High battery voltage - > 15 V (12 V battery)
C- Battery short circuit or battery cell short circuit
Under these conditions, the battery charger will stop charging. In the event of A, B or C, the battery
may be defective and we advise you to consult your nearest battery service centre.
When the LED "FULL" illuminates, the battery is completely charged. The battery charger now switches to the
Float mode and doesn't require your attention until the next time it is used. The INVERCAR 150 battery charger
will automatically maintain your battery.
5- When charging is complete
Switch off the mains supply, unplug the charger, and disconnect the leads from the battery posts. Inspect the
liquid levels in each cell and top up. If necessary, using the correct fluid. Replace the caps. Any surplus fluid
around the cell tops should be wiped off (this should be done with extreme care as it may be acidic/corrosive).
Where appropriate, if the battery has been removed for charging, replace it and reconnect the
cables.
4- MAINTENANCE
It is essential to keep your battery regularly charged throughout the year, especially during the
winter months. In the winter the effectiveness of your car battery is reduced by the cold. Oil is thick. Engines
are difficult to start and the heater, windscreen wipers and lights are all draining power. It is at this time that
batteries have to be at peak power. If your battery is not regularly maintained and kept fully charged, it can
cause problems and a possible breakdown.
Listed are some helpful hints on how to keep your battery healthy in conjunction with your
Battery Charger.
Faulty Cells
Batteries are usually made with six cells. One of these cells can deteriorate or get damaged. If, after several
hours charging your battery is still flat, you should test the battery. Take
hydrometer readings from each cell in the battery. If one reading is lower than the others, this could indicate a
faulty cell. If necessary, get an Auto-Electrician to check your battery. One faulty cell is enough to ruin your
battery. It is pointless to continue using it and you would be better getting a new one.
