Operating Instructions

Understanding the Display:

The LCD digital display cycles through temperature, charging voltage, current, and battery power percentage. This provides real-time feedback on the charging status.

Selecting Charging Modes:

The charger features a touch-sensitive "MODE" button. It is crucial to select the correct mode for your battery type before connecting the charger to the battery. Once charging begins, the button will lock automatically after about 30 seconds to prevent accidental changes. To unlock, disconnect the battery clips.

Figure 6: The charger offers specific modes for various battery types and a dedicated repair function.

• AGM Mode: For AGM batteries.
• CAR Mode: For GEL, SLA, WET, Deep Cycle, EFB, and Calcium batteries (12V and 24V).
• MOTO Mode: Specifically for Motorcycle batteries (12V and 24V).
• LiFePO4 Mode: For Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (12V and 24V).
• REPAIR Mode (16 hours): An advanced battery recovery mode for restoring and desulfating drained or sulfated batteries. This mode is only applicable to Motorcycle and Car batteries. Note: It cannot activate a dead battery or repair severely damaged batteries.

Automatic Temperature Adjustment:

The charger automatically detects the ambient temperature and adjusts the charging voltage accordingly. This ensures optimal charging performance in varying climates, preventing undercharging in winter and overcharging in summer.

• Winter Mode: Automatically activated below 10°C (50°F).
• Summer Mode: Automatically activated at 28°C (82.4°F) and above.
