Measures to prepare the cargo
- This charger is intended for charging 12V lead batteries and must not be used for
any other purpose.
- A frozen battery must not be charged under any circumstances. Therefore,
charging should always be avoided when the ambient temperature is below 0°C. If it
is suspected that a battery is too cold, it should be warmed up sufficiently long at
room temperature before charging.
- A damaged battery must not be charged.
- Non-rechargeable batteries must not be charged with this unit.
- Do not place the charger on the battery when charging.
- Always check that the charger has switched to trickle charge before leaving the
charger switched on unattended for a long time. If the charger has not switched to
trickle charge after hours12, there is a fault. In this case, the charger must be
switched off manually.
- Batteries have a limited life span. Defects in the battery that occur during charging
cannot be detected by the charger.
Therefore, do not leave the charger unattended for long periods of time.
- Lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFP / LiFePO4 ) may only be charged with this
device if the lithium iron phosphate battery has an integrated BMS that is capable of
interrupting the charge independently in the event of a battery fault (faulty cell
balancing / overvoltage).
If this is not the case, do not charge with this unit as internal battery fault conditions
cannot be detected.
PREPARATION OF THE CHARGE
LOAD
- If the battery must be removed from the vehicle for charging, always remove the
earthed terminal of the battery first. Make sure that all auxiliary equipment in the
vehicle is switched off to reduce the risk of arcing.
- Clean battery terminals. Caution: Corroded terminals may contain corrosive
substances. Therefore, make sure that they do not get into the eyes.
