The cell caps should not be replaced until charging is complete. This allows any gases formed
during charging to escape. It is inevitable that some minor escape of acid will occur during
charging.
For permanently sealed battery, it is not necessary to carry out the above checks.
3. Connection
Connect the DC Clamps to the battery poles in the following order:
•
Connect the positive charging lead (RED) to the positive terminal pole of the battery
(marked P or +).
•
Connect the negative charging lead (BLACK) to the negative pole of the battery (marked N
or -).
•
It is important to ensure that both DC Clamps are making good contact with their
respective terminal poles.
4. 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.
5. Control Panel
The Control Panel of the NFC2200 has several buttons and indicators.
Charge Rate Button sets the charge rate to one of the following:
2A DC Slow - Intended for charging small batteries such as those
commonly used in garden tractors, snow mobiles and motorcycles. The
2A rate is not intended to be used as a trickle charger for larger
batteries.
10A DC Normal - Use for charging automotive batteries, marine
batteries, and deep cycle batteries at a normal rate.
15A DC Fast - Use for charging automotive batteries, marine batteries,
and deep cycle batteries at a fast rate.
Battery Selection Button sets the type of battery to be charged to one of the following:
battery that is not marked, check the manual of the item that uses the battery. If the battery
type is unknown, use the "Gel Cell / SLA" setting.
Gel Cell / SLA – Select for charging all type of "Gel
Cell" & "SLA" batteries.
Regular – Select for charging all types of "lead acid"
batteries (sealed or non-sealed).
Deep – Select for charging Deep cycle type batteries.
Batteries should be marked with their type. If charging a
