Setup
Before connecting the charger, ensure your vehicle is turned off and the ignition key is removed. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Identify Battery Terminals: Locate the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on your vehicle's battery. The positive terminal is usually marked with a plus sign and is larger.
- Connect Battery Clamps:
- Connect the RED positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal.
- Connect the BLACK negative (-) clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Important: Ensure a secure connection. Reverse connection will trigger an alarm and protection function on the charger.
- Plug into Power Outlet: Once the battery clamps are securely connected, plug the charger's power cord into a suitable European standard (Schuko) electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions
After proper setup, the charger will automatically begin its operation:
- Automatic Detection: The charger will automatically detect the battery voltage (12V or 24V) and the ambient temperature. It will then select the appropriate charging mode (winter or summer) and charging voltage.
- LCD Display: The LCD screen will display real-time information including temperature, charging voltage, charging current, and battery power level.
- Charging Process: The charger will intelligently manage the charging process. No manual adjustments are typically required.
- Charging Completion: The charger will automatically stop charging once the battery is fully charged. The display will indicate completion, and a green light may become solid (if applicable, based on product design).
- One-Touch Repair Function: If your battery is inactive for a long time, uncharged, or experiencing internal resistance issues, you can use the one-touch repair function. Refer to the specific button or switch on your device for this mode. This function uses high and low frequency pulse technology to recondition the battery.
To Disconnect: First, unplug the charger from the power outlet. Then, disconnect the negative (-) black clamp, followed by the positive (+) red clamp from the battery terminals.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your URAQT battery charger:
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from all power sources and batteries before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure cables are neatly stored, ideally in the integrated storage box if available.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord and battery clamps for any signs of damage, fraying, or corrosion. Do not use if damaged.
- Battery Condition: Periodically check the battery's fluid levels (if applicable for your battery type) and ensure terminals are clean and free of corrosion.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your URAQT battery charger, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charger not turning on / No display | No power from outlet; Loose power connection; Faulty outlet. | Check power outlet with another device; Ensure power cord is securely plugged in; Try a different outlet. |
| Charger alarms / Error message | Reverse polarity connection; Short circuit; Overheating; Overvoltage/Low voltage. | Disconnect immediately. Check battery clamp connections for correct polarity (red to +, black to -). Inspect cables for damage. Allow charger to cool if overheating. Ensure battery voltage is within 12V/24V range. |
| Battery not charging | Poor connection to battery; Battery is severely discharged or damaged; Incorrect battery type. | Ensure clamps are securely attached to clean battery terminals. Try the "One-Touch Repair" function. Confirm battery is a 12V/24V lead-acid type within 6AH-200AH. If battery is severely damaged, it may not accept a charge. |
| Slow charging speed | Battery capacity is very high; Battery is deeply discharged; Ambient temperature is very low. | Charging time varies with battery size and discharge level. The charger automatically adjusts for temperature. Ensure connections are optimal. |
