2. Key Features

• Nine-Stage Charging Function: The charger employs a sophisticated nine-stage charging mode for optimal battery health. These stages include devulcanization, trickle charging, constant current charging, constant voltage charging, battery current detection, compensation charging, floating charging, optimized charging, and small current charging.
• Automatic Temperature Compensation: The device automatically adjusts charging parameters based on ambient temperature, ensuring efficient charging in both winter and summer conditions.
• Pulse Repair Mode: A dedicated repair mode (PUL) is available to help revive and desulfate batteries, indicated by a blinking PUL on the screen.
• Large LCD Display: The clear LCD screen provides real-time information on battery charging status, current, voltage, ambient temperature, charger distribution temperature, and charge percentage.
• Memory Mode: The charger retains the last used charging mode, simplifying repeated use (repair mode does not have memory function).
• Multiple Protections: Includes intelligent detection and anti-error trigger mode to prevent issues like reverse connection, overheating, and overcharging.
• Silent Intelligent Cooling Fan: Features a dual hydraulic high-speed silent cooling fan for improved heat dissipation, reduced internal working temperature, and extended product lifespan.

3. Setup Instructions

1. Connect Battery Clamps: Ensure the charger is unplugged from the power outlet. Connect the red positive (+) clamp to the positive terminal of the battery and the black negative (-) clamp to the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Plug into Power: Once the clamps are securely connected to the battery, plug the charger's AC power cord into a standard home power supply (100-240V 50/60Hz).
3. Initial Display: Upon connecting to power, the screen will typically show 'dF5', indicating it is entering the devulcanization stage. Automatic charging will begin approximately 5 minutes later. (Note: Devulcanization stage is skipped in start/stop/water bottle modes).

4. Operating the Charger

4.1 Automatic Charging Process

Once connected and powered on, the charger automatically detects the battery type and current state. The LCD screen will cycle through displaying the battery voltage, current, ambient working temperature, and current charging progress. The charger will automatically select the appropriate charging mode (e.g., standard, AGM/GEL, wet, motorcycle) and adjust for winter or summer conditions based on temperature.

4.2 Mode Selection

To manually select a mode, press the 'Mode Selection' button. The charger has a memory function that defaults to the last state used before power-off, except for repair mode. To switch modes after the charger has entered the charging state (approximately 25 seconds after connection), you must first unlock it by removing either the battery clamps or disconnecting the power supply. This prevents accidental mode changes during operation.

4.3 Repair Mode (PUL)

To enter repair mode, connect the battery and plug in the charger, then trigger the mode key five times. The screen will display 'PUL' blinking. It is recommended to repair car batteries for approximately 4 hours and motorcycle or water bottle batteries for about 2 hours. The battery should not heat up during this process; if it does, reduce the repair time. The repair mode also supplies current, allowing the battery to charge fully over a longer period. Repair is complete when the screen shows 'OFF'.

4.4 Charging Completion

When the charger screen shows the battery charge bar full (100%) and displays 'FUL', it is recommended to continue floating charging and optimize charging for about 1 to 3 hours for a more complete charge. The charging process is fully complete when the screen displays 'OFF' and the unit shuts down.

5. Maintenance

The TEISQI charger is designed for durability and ease of use. It features a silent intelligent cooling fan that helps maintain optimal operating temperature and prevents dust inhalation, extending the charger's service life. Regularly inspect the charger and its cables for any signs of damage. Keep the battery terminals clean to ensure proper connection and efficient charging. Store the charger in a dry, cool place when not in use.

6. Troubleshooting

• Charger Not Activating: Ensure the battery is not completely dead. The charger is not designed to activate or charge batteries with absolutely no residual electricity.
• 'dF5' Display: This indicates the devulcanization stage, which is a normal part of the charging process. Allow approximately 5 minutes for automatic charging to begin.
• 'EH-' Display: This indicates a reverse connection exception. Immediately disconnect the charger from both the power supply and the battery, then re-connect the clamps to the correct terminals (red to positive, black to negative).
• 'FUL' Display: The battery is fully charged. It is recommended to continue floating and optimizing charge for 1-3 hours for best results.
• 'OFF' Display: The charging process is complete, and the charger has shut down. You may now safely disconnect the unit.
• Mode Switch Issues: If the mode button is unresponsive, ensure the charger has been connected for at least 25 seconds. To switch modes after this period, you must temporarily remove a battery clamp or disconnect the power supply to unlock the button.
