4.2 Initial Connection Steps
- Ensure the charger's power switch is OFF.
- Connect the desired adapter cable to the charger's output terminals.
- Connect the adapter cable to your battery. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative).
- Plug the charger's AC power cord into a standard 110V AC outlet.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Normal Charging Mode
This mode is for routine charging of compatible batteries.
Image 3: This image illustrates the knob rotation for switching between Normal Charging Mode and "H" Pulse Repair Mode on the Beleeb C35 charger.
- Turn the Voltage Setting Knob to match your battery's voltage (e.g., 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, 60V, or 72V).
- Adjust the Current Control Knob to your desired charging amperage (Low, Medium, or High). The charger automatically regulates current based on voltage, with maximum currents as follows:
- 12V: 14A Max
- 24V: 12A Max
- 36V: 10A Max
- 48V: 8A Max
- 60V: 6A Max
- 72V: 4A Max
- Turn the Power Switch ON. The LCD screen will display charging information, and the indicator light will be red.
- The charger will automatically terminate charging when the battery is full, and the indicator light will turn green.

5.2 "H" Mode (High-Voltage Pulse Desulfation)
The "H" mode is designed for lead-acid batteries to equalize cell status and reduce sulfation, which can extend battery life. This mode is also known as equalized charging.
Image 5: Instructions on how to use the "H" Mode (Desulfation) on the Beleeb C35 charger, including settings and important safety notes.
- Settings:
- Set the Voltage Setting Knob to the "H" position corresponding to your battery's voltage (e.g., "48V-H" for a 48V battery).
- Set the Current Control Knob to the LOW position.
- Process:
- Like a standard charge, the process is fully automatic once initiated. The charger will run the desulfation program on its own.
Important Safety Notes for "H" Mode:
- Do not leave unattended. Monitor battery temperature every 1-2 hours.
- Pause if the battery becomes hot (>50°C / 122°F). Allow it to cool down before resuming.
- Do not attempt to desulfate severely sulfated batteries. Batteries with high internal resistance are typically unrecoverable, and attempting repair poses safety risks. Replacement is the safest solution.
5.3 Charging Lithium Batteries
When charging lithium-ion batteries, it is crucial to understand the role of the Battery Management System (BMS).

Important Notes for Charging Lithium Batteries:
- The BMS monitors battery conditions like temperature, cell balance, and overall health.
- Ensure the correct voltage setting is used to avoid damaging the BMS with excessive voltage.
- If the BMS detects an issue (e.g., overheating or aging), it may reduce or stop charging to protect the battery.
- For a 12V lithium battery, set the charger voltage to 14.7V. The BMS will typically accept up to 14.4V, and the charger output will be 14.4V.
5.4 Intelligent Charging Program
The Beleeb C35 employs a multi-stage charging program to optimize battery health and lifespan.
Image 7: A diagram illustrating the 4-stage intelligent charging program of the Beleeb C35 charger.
- Stage 1: Pre-charging: Pulse current charging to restore fully discharged battery cells.
- Stage 2: CC Charging (Constant Current): Voltage gradually increases.
- Stage 3: CV Charging (Constant Voltage): Current gradually reduces.
- Stage 4: Recharging: Reinitiating charge when voltage drops to a set value.
- Charging Complete: Current reduces to 0, entering standby mode.
6. Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Keep the charger clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
- "H" Mode for Lead-Acid Batteries: For optimal performance and extended life of lead-acid batteries, use the "H" mode charging approximately once every 3 months to equalize cell status.
- Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect charging cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
- Charger Not Turning On:
- Check if the AC power cord is securely plugged into both the charger and the wall outlet.
- Ensure the power switch is in the ON position.
- Verify the wall outlet is functional.
- Battery Not Charging:
- Confirm that the charging cables are correctly connected to the battery terminals with proper polarity.
- Ensure the Voltage Setting Knob matches the battery's voltage.
- Check if the battery is severely discharged or damaged. The charger may not initiate charging if the battery voltage is too low.
- For lithium batteries, the BMS might have stopped charging due to an internal issue.
- Battery Overheating During "H" Mode:
- Immediately pause the "H" mode process.
- Allow the battery to cool down to a safe temperature (<50°C / 122°F) before resuming.
- Do not attempt to desulfate severely sulfated batteries, as this can cause excessive heat.
- Incorrect Voltage/Current Display:
- Ensure all connections are secure.
- Note that the charger display shows pulse peak values, while a multimeter (DC) shows average values. A reading difference is normal, with the average value typically being half of the peak.
