The on and off commands are controlled by the on/off switch on the back of the unit which is only operational once the ac plug of the spbc30 & spbc40 has been plugged into the ac electrical wall socket. BATTERY CHARGER PROTECTION SYSTEMS Over-charging protection The battery charger contains an advanced microchip monitoring and controlling system to ensure that the battery does not become overcharged which can result in the loss of electrolyte or in internal short circuit which can cause damage to the battery. Overload protection Overload protection will activate when the current exceeds 120% of the maximum working current. High temperature protection High temperature protection will activate when the internal temperature of the charger rises above 50°C. If this occurs, the charger output is automatically reduced. Once the temperature is below approximately 35°C, the charger output will return to normal. This feature is designed to protect the battery and the battery charger when they are being used in environments with very high ambient temperatures. Even charging function By slowly raising the voltage, the batteries cells with a lower voltage are not charged too quickly which can overheat individual battery cells, compared to battery cells with a higher voltage. Reverse polarity protection When reverse connected, the screen LED will flash and the output power will be cut off. This protection will protect both the charger and the battery from damage. If you have accidentally made a reverse polarity connection, please switch battery charger off from AC power, and correct the battery clamp connections to the correct polarities. Short circuit protection No output when clamps are connected together, power output only occurs when connected to a battery. This prevents charger malfunction if clamps accidentally come in contact with each other. BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS Step 1. Connect battery charger cables to battery charger, using the supplied nuts to the correct polarity terminals on the front of the charger (Red + Positive) / (Black Negative). Please DO NOT over-tighten nuts on front panel. Step 2. Electrolyte Level Check (where applicable). For sealed maintenance free batteries check the state of charge indicator. Refer to the vehicles manufacturers' owner manual. Step 3. Connect battery charger to battery. Refer to the vehicles manufacturers' owner manual. Ensure the battery is in a safe location on a stable surface with adequate ventilation. Ensure the correct Personal Protective Equipment is being worn i.e. Gloves and Eye Wear. Plug the battery charger into the mains power source ensuring that the power is OFF. Connect the RED lead (Battery Clamp) to the Positive Terminal (+/positive) on the battery. Connect the BLACK lead (Battery Clamp) to the Negative Terminal (-/negative) on the battery or to a metal grounded non-moving part of the vehicle. Turn the mains power source ON, and switch the power switch on the rear of the unit to ON to commence charging. LITHIUM BATTERY ONLY Press and hold MODE button for 3 seconds until LITHIUM LED indicator lights up. Lithium Mode will automatically turn off when charger power is disconnected. The battery charger will commence working automatically without the need for any further user input. Once the battery is fully charged turn the power switch on the rear of the unit OFF, and disconnect the mains power source. Disconnect the BLACK lead (Battery Clip) from the Negative Terminal (-/negative). Disconnect the RED lead (Battery Clip) from the Positive Terminal (+/positive). Refit battery into vehicle and correctly reconnect using the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, or If required, replace or tighten the vent caps on the battery Step 4. Charging Sequence Once connected the LED Battery Charge display will illuminate and show: Charging Voltage Percentage of Charge Charging output current Lithium mode (on or off) Power Supply mode (on or off) Charging Stage progress (charging graph) If there is a fault with the battery or one of the battery's cells, the battery charger will automatically switch off; no charge will be sent to the battery. If the battery leads are placed on the reverse polarity terminals of the battery the Screen LED will flash, indicating that the battery charger has been incorrectly connected to the battery. Immediately disconnect the battery charger from the battery terminals and correctly fit the battery cables to the correct battery terminals. CHARGING STAGES Analysis / Desulphation A small voltage pulse is applied to the battery to ensure it can effectively and safely accept a charge. Desulphation uses pulse reconditioning to gently remove any sulphation build up on the battery plates and prevents oxidization. Stabilizes electrolyte consistency and minimises the battery temperature rising while charging, recovers battery capacity and can help extend battery life. Soft Start The soft start function improves the batteries charging capability, reduces gas and heat build-up and can improve electrolyte consistency which can become uneven in the battery's cells from day to day use. A steadily increasing current is applied over a set time so as not to initially overload the battery. This stage prepares the battery for the more intense charging stages to follow. Bulk charge Maximum charge current is delivered to the battery to minimize charge times. © Jack Sealey Limited Original Language Version SPBC30 SPBC40 Issue 2 17/10/2024 4.4.3. Absorption Reduces the current supplied to the battery and ensures that the battery has been completely charged without the risk of being overcharged. 4.4.4. Analysis Testing the battery while charging The charger shuts off power and measures voltage drop over a set time. If unacceptable readings are measured this may indicate an internal short or other issue inside the battery. If the battery has a fault the charger will stop charge, the charger will cut output and will not continue charging until it is either switched off, or the battery is removed. Faulty Battery indicators will activate if the battery being charged is completely dead and cannot be charged. Depending on what battery is being charged, 6V or 12V or 24V LED will flash if battery is faulty. 4.4.5. Boost/ equalisation charge Once the battery is fully charged, the charger will equalize all of the battery cells by providing a steady set voltage over a programmed period of time, at low current. 4.4.6. Float charge: After the boost/equalisation charge stage, the current will drop to low amperage to maintain the battery in a fully charged and ready to use state. 4.4.7. Maintenance charge After the float charge stage, the voltage will maintain at a constant level with a small pulse frequency. Current is dropped to a very low level. 4.4.8. Power Supply Mode: This battery charger is fitted with a DC power supply mode. This mode will deliver a constant 13.5 Volts at 30/40 Amps and can be used for powering 12V DC appliances, lighting or used for testing 12V devices. The DC power supply also has overload and short circuit protection. 4.4.8.1. To enter the DC power supply mode: · Ensure unit is switched off before making any connections. · Switch the 240V AC and the power switch on the unit ON. · Press the MODE button twice until the DC SUPPLY LED indicator is illuminated. · Connect the RED lead (Battery Clip) to the positive input on the device. · Connect the Black lead (Battery Clip) to the negative input on the device. · To switch off power supply; first turn the power switch on the back of the unit off, then turn off or unplug the AC power. · Disconnect the DC power leads from the device. · The DC power mode will automatically turn off and revert to Battery Charging when the charger is turned off and powered back on. 4.4.8.2.
