Operating Instructions
The Absaar Evo 8.0 is an automatic charger designed for 12V and 24V batteries. It features an intelligent charging process.
- Automatic Voltage Detection: Once connected to a battery and power, the charger automatically detects whether it is a 12V or 24V battery. The display will show the detected voltage.
- Charging Modes: The charger automatically selects the appropriate charging current (8A or 4A) based on the battery's state and voltage. The display will indicate the charging status and current voltage.
- Monitoring: The digital display provides real-time information on the battery voltage. The charger will automatically switch to a maintenance (float) charge mode once the battery is fully charged to prevent overcharging.
- Disconnecting: To disconnect the charger, first unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet. Then, remove the black negative (-) clamp from the battery (or chassis), followed by the red positive (+) clamp from the battery terminal.
Maintenance and Storage
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your charger.
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from all power sources and batteries before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the AC power cord and battery cables for any cuts, fraying, or damage. Do not use the charger if cables are damaged.
- Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure cables are neatly coiled to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting

| Charger connected but not charging. | Incorrect battery connection; battery is severely discharged or damaged. | Verify that the positive and negative clamps are correctly connected. Ensure battery terminals are clean. The charger may not initiate if the battery voltage is extremely low or if the battery is faulty. |
| Display shows an error code. | Specific error condition (e.g., reverse polarity, short circuit). | Refer to the charger's display for the specific error. Disconnect and reconnect the battery clamps, ensuring correct polarity. If the error persists, the battery or charger may be faulty. |
| Charger gets warm during operation. | Normal operation; poor ventilation. | It is normal for the charger to get warm during charging. Ensure it is placed in a well-ventilated area and not covered. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect immediately. |
