Note: Not suitable for charging lithium batteries.

5. Setup

5.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the charger and its accessories from the packaging. Ensure all components are present and undamaged:

• 1 x ALLOYSEED 400A Car Battery Charger
• 1 x Set of Alligator Clips (Red and Black)

5.2 Connecting to the Battery

1. Ensure the charger is unplugged from the power outlet before making any connections.
2. Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on your battery. The positive terminal is usually marked with a plus sign and is larger, while the negative terminal is marked with a minus sign.
3. Connect the RED alligator clip to the battery's POSITIVE (+) terminal.
4. Connect the BLACK alligator clip to the battery's NEGATIVE (-) terminal.
5. Ensure the connections are secure and free from corrosion.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Initial Power-Up

1. After connecting the alligator clips to the battery, plug the charger's power cord into a standard 110V-240V AC power outlet.
2. The LED display will light up, automatically detecting the battery voltage (12V or 24V) and displaying the current status.

6.2 Charging Modes

The charger offers both intelligent (automatic) and manual charging modes, along with a pulse repair function.

• Intelligent Mode (Automatic): This is the default and recommended mode. The charger automatically detects the battery type and condition, adjusts the charging current, and stops charging once the battery is full. This prevents overcharging and prolongs battery life.
• Manual Mode: For specific situations where continuous charging is desired (e.g., to further activate a deeply discharged battery). In this mode, the charger will continue to charge even after the battery is full. Monitor the battery closely in manual mode to prevent overcharging.
• Pulse Repair Function: This function uses a five-stage, five-level pulse system to repair batteries with issues like insufficient power, low voltage, or high internal resistance. Select the 'Repair' option on the function switch.

6.3 Interpreting the LED Display

The LED liquid crystal display provides real-time information:

• Voltage Display (V): Shows the current battery voltage.
• Power Display (%): Indicates the estimated charge level of the battery (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
• Charging Current Display (A): Shows the current charging amperage.
• Charging Tips / Reverse Cue: Visual indicators for charging status and warnings for incorrect connections.

6.4 Disconnecting the Charger

1. Unplug the charger from the AC power outlet first.
2. Disconnect the BLACK alligator clip from the battery's NEGATIVE (-) terminal.
3. Disconnect the RED alligator clip from the battery's POSITIVE (+) terminal.

7. Maintenance

• Keep the charger clean and dry. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure the ventilation holes and cooling fan are free from dust and debris to maintain efficient heat dissipation.
• Inspect the power cord and alligator clips regularly for any signs of damage. Do not use the charger if any part is damaged.
• Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use.

8. Troubleshooting

9. User Tips

• Battery Type: Always confirm your battery is a lead-acid type (EFB, AGM, gel, WET) before connecting. This charger is NOT for lithium batteries.
• 400A vs. 10A: The product is labeled 400A, which likely refers to a peak or starting current capability. The actual rated charging current is 10A.
• Automatic Operation: For most users, the intelligent (automatic) mode is sufficient. The charger will detect 12V/24V batteries and stop charging automatically when full.
• No External Device Power: This device is a battery charger, not a power supply. Do not attempt to plug in and operate 12V electronic devices directly from the charger.
