Technical Data; Charging The Battery - EINHELL CE-BC 1 M Originalbetriebsanleitung

The equipment is to be used only for its prescri-
bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a
case of misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju-
ries of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been de-
signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.

5. Operation
Before you connect the equipment to the power
supply make sure that the data on the specifi ca-
tions label are identical to the supply voltage.
Danger! Do not charge any frozen batteries.
Please also refer to the instructions in the
owner's manuals for the car, radio, navigation
system, etc.
Notes on automatic charging
The charger is a microprocessor controlled au-
tomatic charger, i.e. it is suitable in particular for
charging maintenance-free batteries and for the
long-term charging and maintenance-charging of
batteries which are not in constant use, e.g. for
classic cars, recreational vehicles, lawn tractors
and the like. The integrated microprocessor ena-
bles charging in several steps. The fi nal charging
step, maintenance charging, maintains the batte-
ry capacity at 95–100% and therefore keeps the
battery fully charged at all times. The charging
operation does not need to be monitored. How-
ever, do not leave the battery unattended if you
charge it over an extended period of time, so that
you can disconnect it from the mains power sup-
ply in the event of a fault in the charger.

5.1 Explanation of the symbols (Fig. 2)
A Charging of a 6V battery (lead acid battery,
AGM battery and GEL battery).
B Charging of a 12V battery (lead acid battery,
AGM battery and GEL battery).
C Fault LED – the clamps are wrongly connec-
ted (reverse polarity), short-circuit, wrong
charging voltage selected for 6V battery, faul-
ty battery.
5.2 Charging settings (Fig. 2)
Connect the charger to the socket outlet (check
the technical data). All 3 LEDs will fl ash for a
short time. Then the 12V LED will fl ash rapidly. To
set the charging voltage according to the battery
voltage (6V or 12V), press the Mode button (Item
1). Either the 6V or 12V LED will fl ash rapidly
depending on your selection. While charging is in
progress, the applicable LED will fl ash slowly.

5.3 Charging the battery:

•
Release or remove the battery stoppers (if
fitted) from the battery.
•
Check the acid level in the battery. If neces-
sary, top up the battery with distilled water (if
possible). Important! Battery acid is aggres-
sive. Rinse off any acid splashes thoroughly
with lots of water and seek medical advice if
necessary.
•
First connect the red charging cable to the
positive pole of the battery.
•
Then connect the black charging cable to the
bodywork of the vehicle away from the battery
and the petrol pipe. Either the 6V or 12V LED
will flash slowly depending on the battery vol-
tage you have set.
•
Warning! Under normal circumstances the
negative battery pole is connected to the
bodywork and you proceed as described
above. In exceptional cases it is be possible
that the positive battery pole is connected to
the bodywork (positive earthing). In this case,
connect the black charger cable to the nega-
tive pole on the battery. Then connect the red
charger cable to the bodywork at a point away
from the battery and the petrol pipe.
•
Important! Charging may create dangerous
explosive gas and therefore you should avoid
spark formation and naked flames whilst the
battery is charging. There is a risk of explosi-
on! It is essential that you ventilate the rooms
well.
•
Once the battery is fully charged, the 6V or
12V LED will shine continuously.
•
If the charger shows "Battery fully charged"
