5 Intended use
The battery charger (MCP1204: item no. 9102500070, MCP1207: item no.
9102500071) can charge or supply a float charge voltage to 12 V batteries
used to generate power in vehicles or on boats.
The battery charger can be used on the following types of battery:
 Lead automotive batteries
 Gel batteries
 Fleece batteries (AGM)
 Maintenance-free batteries
A
NOTICE!
The battery charger may not be used on other types of batteries
(e.g. NiCd, NiMH etc.) or defective batteries (e.g. with a cell short
circuit).
The battery charger is only suitable for use indoors.
The battery charger is not suitable for mounting in one fixed place. The wall
bracket (accessory; item no. 9102500079) must be used for this purpose.

Technical description

The battery charger charges batteries that are used as a source of voltage
on board vehicles or boats, or supplies them with a float charge voltage to
ensure they are not discharged.
The service life of most lead batteries is reduced by sulphation: lead sulphate
forms into large, smooth crystals over the course of time and the amorphous,
spongy structure disappears. The ability to recharge and therefore the charg-
ing capacity gradually decreases and the battery ages.
The battery charger operates using specific frequencies in parts of its charg-
ing curve. This causes the crystals to vibrate in their resonant frequency.
They decompose into their amorphous structure. Their molecules can be
integrated back into the charging process which in turn increases the charg-
ing voltage, starting current and the capacity of the battery again.
All lead batteries are protected from premature ageing by regular charging
using the battery charger.
