(BATTERY %). Use this button to switch
between the following displays:
Battery %: shows the charging progress
„ „
of the connected battery in percent.
Voltage: shows the voltage of the
„ „
connected battery.
Alternator % check: Output power of the
„ „
alternator in percent.
Battery type button
to set the battery type to be charged. You
can choose between different battery types.
The battery type must be correctly set before
starting the charging process:
12 V – regular: These batteries (lead-acid
„ „
batteries) are usually used in cars, trucks
and motorcycles. They have venting caps
and are often marked as "low-mainte-
nance" or "no maintenance". This battery
type is meant for transferring energy
quickly (e.g. starting an engine).
"Regular" batteries should not be
used for "Deep – Cycle" applications.
12 V Deep Cycle: These batteries are
„ „
usually also marked as "Deep – Cycle"
or "Marine". Batteries of this type are
usually larger than other battery types.
This supplies less short-term energy,
but a longer-term energy transmission.
These batteries can withstand a large
number of discharge cycles.
12 V – AGM/gel: The AGM battery
„ „
types are usually good deep – cycle bat-
teries. They have the best "service life"
when they are recharged before they
have been discharged by more than
50 %. At complete discharge they can
withstand about 300 charge cycles.
The battery type GEL is similar to the
battery type AGM. The voltage during
recharging is lower than in other lead-
acid batteries. If you use the wrong car
battery charger for a gel battery,
a reduced output or shorter service life
can be expected.
2 : Use this button
6 V – regular: Choose this mode for
„ „
commercial rechargeable 6-V batteries.
Note: If you connect a 12 V car battery
to a car battery charger and the car battery
charger automatically detects it as a 6 V
battery, it can be assumed that this 12 V car
battery is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Charge-start button
to switch between the following options and
start the charging process:
Fast Charge: fast charging
„ „
Normal charge: normal charging
„ „
(normal speed)
Start: briefly supplies 75 Ampere to
„ „
bridge batteries with a weak charge
or flat 12 V batteries for the purpose
of starting the engine
Note: In the Fast Charge mode the charg-
er automatically switches to maintenance
charging after a successful charging process
(the "Charged" LED lights up in green in the
6
digital display ), provided the car battery
charger remains connect to the battery and
mains current.
Attention: Mode can only be terminated
by pulling the mains plug
repeatedly pressing the charge start button
(repeated pressing until no mode is
displayed).
Note: If the "Charged" LED in the digital
6
display lights up in green, the battery
is sufficiently charged and a repeated fast
or normal charging process is no longer
permitted.
