This document provides essential operating instructions and safety information for the Streetwize 12V 4Amp and 6Amp Battery Chargers, models SWBCG4 and SWBCG6. It is designed to guide users through the proper use and maintenance of these devices to ensure safe and effective battery charging.
Key Features and Specifications
The Streetwize battery chargers are designed for 12-volt lead-acid batteries. The SWBCG4 model offers a 4 Amp output (2.8 ADC), suitable for batteries with a capacity of 12-48 Ah. The SWBCG6 model provides a 6 Amp output (4.2 ADC), recommended for batteries with a capacity of 20-80 Ah. Both models operate on a 230V 50Hz input.
Important Safety Instructions
Users must adhere to crucial safety guidelines to prevent personal injury, electric shock, or fire. Always operate the charger in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials. Ensure the charger, cables, and clips are in good condition before use. Never open the charger unit. Avoid contact with battery acid, which can cause burns. The chargers are intended for 12V lead-acid batteries only and should not be used with other battery types.
Operating Procedures
Before charging, disconnect the battery from the vehicle. For maintenance-free batteries, no cell checks are required. For other batteries, ensure the liquid level is correct, topping up with distilled or de-ionised water if necessary. Connect the positive (red) clip first, followed by the negative (black) clip, ensuring a secure connection. Plug the charger into a mains socket only after the clips are connected. The Amp Meter indicates the charging rate, with the needle returning to the left as the battery charges. The charger features reverse polarity protection.
Troubleshooting and Additional Information
If the charger does not work, check the fuse. The Amp Meter may not show a reading on a fully charged battery. The charger has a temperature-sensitive switch that automatically shuts it off if it overheats.
