IMPORTANT: This is an earthed device and must be connected to an earthed mains socket.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use this battery charger to charge only one battery at a time. Full
information regarding how to charge batteries in series or parallel with this charger is beyond the
scope of this manual. However it is important to match: voltage, capacity, state of charge, relative
age and ideally brand and model of each battery to ensure correct charging for both series and
parallel. It is also important that battery banks have a final voltage of 12V or 24V and the combined
Ah rating is within the range stated in the specification.
• Check that the Voltage Switch (4) is positioned correctly for the voltage of the battery being
charged
• Connect the battery charger to the mains power supply
• Set the Charge Rate Switch (6) to an appropriate position for the battery being charged
Note: Batteries should only be charged at a current equal to 1/10 of their Ah rating (e.g. a 100Ah
battery should not be charged at a current greater than 10A), if the battery has been allowed to deep
discharge do not charge at a rate greater than 1/20 of their Ah rating
• The charge rate can be monitored by referring to the Ammeter (1). If the charge rate is too high,
move the Charge Rate Switch (6) to the 'MIN' position
• For a quick charge to refresh a partially drained battery, allow 5 - 10 minutes charging time with
the Charge Rate Switch set to the 'BOOST' position
• As the battery charges, the charge rate will gradually decrease. When the reading on the
Ammeter (1) reaches '0', the battery is fully charged.
Note: Regularly monitor the Ammeter so you can switch off the battery charger as soon as the
battery is fully charged.
• When charging very cold batteries, the initial charge rate may increase as the battery warms. Do
not attempt to charge a frozen battery
• Internally damaged (shorted) batteries will draw very high current, without charging. If the
battery has been charging for 5-10 minutes and shows no reduction in charging current, the
battery may be damaged. Stop charging and have the battery professionally tested
• Disconnect the Negative Clamp (Black) (10)
• Disconnect the Positive Clamp (Red) (11)
• Refit battery in vehicle if removed, ensuring positive terminal is connected before the negative
terminal.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply, then disconnect the battery after
use. Leaving the battery connected may result in overcharging and permanent battery damage.

Maintenance

WARNING: Always ensure that the battery charger is disconnected from the mains power supply
before performing any maintenance procedure.
Replacing the DC Fuse
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the charger from the mains supply and battery.
The DC Fuse (3) protects the DC output circuit of the battery charger. The DC Fuse may blow if the
clamps are allowed to touch each other, the battery has an internal fault, the clamp connections
to the battery are reversed or there is a fault with the car electrics (if the battery is charged in the
vehicle).
When the DC Fuse blows, correct the issue that caused the DC Fuse to blow and replace with a good
quality fuse of the same rating as previously fitted (see Specification).
12/24V Battery Charger
Replacing the 230V Fuse
WARNING: Disconnect product from the power supply. Disconnect any batteries.
Remove the 230V Fuse (5) by unscrewing the fuse cover with a slotted screwdriver. Remove and
dispose of the blown fuse. Replace with a good quality fuse of the correct rating (See Specification).
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean. Do not allow waste to collect on any part of the tool.
Always clean dust and particles away and never allow ventilation holes to become blocked as this
will prevent the charger from cooling. Use a soft brush, dry cloth or vacuum to clean the machine.
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer functional
and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), with
household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose of
power tools
