5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Automatic Charging
Once connected to both power and the battery, the charger will automatically begin the charging process. It intelligently detects the ambient temperature and adjusts the charging voltage accordingly (winter mode for cold temperatures, summer mode for warm temperatures) to optimize charging efficiency and prevent overcharging or undercharging.
The LCD display will show real-time information such as temperature, charging voltage, charging current, and battery power. The charger will automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full capacity.

5.2 Repair Function
The repair function is designed to help restore old, unused, or deeply discharged lead-acid batteries. To activate the repair mode:
- Connect the charger to the battery and power as described in Section 4.
- Press the "Repair" button on the charger. The charger will enter pulse repair mode.
- Allow the charger to operate in repair mode for several hours or until the display indicates a change in battery status. Note that not all deeply discharged or damaged batteries can be fully restored.
This function uses high and low-frequency pulses to desulfate the battery plates, which can improve battery life and performance.
6. Maintenance
- Keep the charger clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents.
- Regularly inspect the cables and clamps for any signs of damage. Replace if necessary.
- Store the charger in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Ensure the ventilation fan is clear of obstructions to prevent overheating.
