Basic Operation / Installation
Fit in a cool dry well ventilated space.
Should be installed by a competent
person, conforming with the laws of the
country. Connect positive cables (in red) to
the terminal block, as shown below. Similarly,
ensure fuses are installed and negatives are
common.

Ensure the charger is wired up as
depicted above (larger diagram on
previous page). The Pro Batt Ultra shall
light up provided it has battery voltage
across the Pos in and neg terminal. If
Pos out is also connected the unit shall
start charging for 120 seconds (1/2 of the
regen. braking timer). During the first
start up you can change the battery
chemistry profile.
In default mode (1) or mode (2) the Batt
Ultra shall simply turn off and goes to
sleep after 240 seconds (can be
changed) if the input voltage has not
risen above 13.2V. WARNING,
have it set to mode (3) (Ignition Force
Mode) and the ignition is live then the
charger shall continue charging until the
input battery drops to
for 24V. VERY LOW .
In default mode (1) or mode (2) the input
voltage needs to rise to above 13.2V-
19.0V (x2 for 24V) in order for the Batt
Ultra to start charging. This can be
achieved by starting your engine. Above
13.2V, for 5 seconds, the regenerative
braking timer activates (120 sec (first
time after start/wakeup) then 240
seconds default).
There may be a delay of up to 60
seconds before the BB ultra starts.
This is required to complement the
regenerative braking aspect of modern
E u r o 5 / 6 + e n g i n e s - w h e r e t h e
alternator's voltage can drop below 13V
for a short period of time. When the
alternator's voltage rises above 13.2V
the 240 second timer ends (+ reactivates
the timer) and the charger remains
charging.

Double all voltages for 24V, triple for 36V
and quadruple for 48V.
1) Automatic activation (default setting).
The most common mode, used in 99% of
all installations including vehicles with
Regen. braking system.
the unit is voltage sensitive (no ignition
feed required). The moment the charger is
installed onto an input and output battery it
shall start charging for 120 seconds then turn
off. Only when the input voltage goes to
13.2V-19.0V then the unit will simply start
charging. If the voltage drops below 13.0V the
unit shall turn off. With a caveat, read on.
However, if the input voltage has exceeded
13.2V for 5 seconds the regen. braking timer
is prepped and shall become active if the
input voltage drops down to 12.0V-13.3V.
This timer is 240s (default - can be changed)
and allows the charger to continue charging
at these lower input voltages. If the voltage
drops below 11.9V the charger goes to sleep
irrespective of the timer. If the input voltage
remains between 11.9V-13.0V for over 240s
the charger also goes to sleep. To wake the
charger, the input voltage needs to rise above
13.2V - this shall also reset the regen. braking
timer.
2) Ignition feed w/ safe voltage activation
Mode 2 is identical to Mode 1. The only
difference is that it requires a live signal on the
ignition AND the aforementioned input
voltages for it to remain charging. For
example, if you have over 13.2V on the input
terminal with no live feed then the Pro Batt
Ultra shall be in standby. Only once you apply
the ignition feed signal the Pro Batt shall start
charging. The charger turns off when you turn
off your ignition.
This mode is beneficial as it give you more
control over when the charger operates. With
a live ignition and low input voltage the
charger shall still charge for 240 seconds,
then turn off.
3) Pure ignition feed - WARNING flat batt.
If you just connect the ignition feed only to the
bottom connector (remove the link) the BB
shall operate when the ignition is live and turn
off when the ignition is off. There is no timer,
no trigger voltages - only a 10V (20V at 24V)
low voltage trip.
With the link wire connected and the ignition
feed connected the BB shall operate when
the ignition is live. However, it shall also
operate when there is no ignition under the
conditions of mode 1 (above).
This mode is ideal for those who have Euro 6
engines that start up with the alternator off.
Where the starter battery's voltage does not
exceed 13.3V, but you want the BB to charge.
This means that
