WARNING
The charger is designed to charge and maintain 12V conventional lead-acid battery
only. (VRLA), AGM, Calcium, Gel and WET, not suit for Li-ion batteries.
We always recommend that you check the Battery Manufacturers specifications before
using this charger
Explosive gases may escape from the battery during charging. Provide ventilation to
prevent flames and sparks.
For indoor use. Do not expose charger to rain, snow or liquids.
For charging lead-acid batteries ONLY (of the size & voltage indicated in the
specifications table)
Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse immediately with water if acid comes into contact with
skin or eyes.
The charger should be used on a flat surface.
Never charge a frozen battery.
Never charge a damaged battery.
Never place the charger on the battery while charging.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or
short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
When working with a lead-acid battery, remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces, watches…
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
In order to reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from AC outlet before doing
any maintenance or cleaning. Turn off controls will reduce risk.
The kit is not supposed to be used by children or by people who are not able to
understand the manual, unless they are supervised by a responsible person who
ensures the proper use of the kit.

oBulk Charging
oAbsorption Charging
oVoltage analysis
oFloat Mode
oLong term maintenance pulse charge
Diagnosis & Charge - Automatic diagnosis and charge: On power up, the charger
will automatically diagnoses the battery condition, and then determine if the battery
charger engages the rejuvenation stage or goes into charging cycle.
Enhanced battery rejuvenation stage –Patented battery rejuvenation technology:
The charger has a unique and patented rejuvenation feature which uses with high
voltage equalizing and peak pulse reconditioning to repair the sulphated batteries,
this feature is fully automatic and subjected to the internal impendence of the battery,
It also depends on the battery is still connected in the vehicle wiring circuit.
Charge & Maintain - Automatic Maintenance: The battery charger could be left
unattended and it is full time managed by program; when the battery is charged to
"full" state, the charger automatically switches to maintain the battery. It will monitor
the battery voltage and continue to peak performance with special pulse charge in
long term maintenance.
Short circuit or Reverse polarity protection: The charger will automatically turn off
when the output short circuit or reverse polarity occurred and prevent any damage.
Never overcharge your battery
Heavy-Duty cables
Corrosion-resistant output connectors
Output clips and ring terminals provided: It comes with a quick connect fly lead and
2 different kinds of connectors, crocodile clips and a ring terminals. The ring
terminals are perfect for permanent connection to your battery. You can connect the
lead to the battery and tuck the lead away while you are using your vehicle and when
you get back to your garage simply plug the lead back into the charger.
Foldable smart hook: The battery charger
is built with a foldable hook at the rear of
the unit, which is convenient to hook up the
charger onto the motorcycle handlebars or
wall mounting desired. The hook is easy to
fold back into the unit when not in use.
TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
The charger contains the following safety protections:
INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION: The battery charger is built-in with overheat
and overload electronic circuit. When the charger is overheated, the charger will

4
decrease the charging current. If temperature is decreased, the charger will resume
to normal charging.
TIMER PROTECTION: The charger provides the maximum charging timer
management for each charging stage; this condition may occur if attempting to
charge any severely discharged or heavily sulfated battery. Once the charger is
timed-out, the charger will stop charging for protecting your battery and the RED
LED will be FLASH fast, while this situation occurs, please check with your battery
statues.
REVERSE POLARITY: The charger has reverse battery protection. If a reverse
battery exists (Red LED ON, while output leads are connected backwards), simply
unplug charger from AC power and properly remake the connections as described
in this manual.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: The charger has output short-circuit protection. If
the charger output lead short condition exists (Red LED ON, while output leads are
connected backwards), simply unplug charger from AC power and properly remake
the connections as described in this manual. The charger employs the firm
hardware and smart program to automatically detect the output connections. Once
the charger detects the output short-circuit or reverse polarity, it will not deliver any
output current.
ECO MODE FOR ENERGY SAVING:
This battery charger has built in ultra-low power consumption circuit and operated with very
high power efficiency, the charger will automatically go into ECO mode if unload attached,
during ECO mode, the power drawn is less than 0.36W, equal to power consumption of
0.01kWh per day; after the battery is fully charged and during long term maintenance stage,
the total power consumption is around 0.03kWh per day.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1 - Pre Charge Check & Electrolyte Level Check
Check the Battery Electrolyte level (Not required on sealed & Maintenance Free
Batteries).
If necessary, remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the levels are halfway
between the upper and lower fill lines.
Check the Voltage Output Switch on the charger and make sure it’s on the correct
voltage STEP 2 - Connecting the Battery charger to your Battery
If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
oConnect the Red lead from the charger to the positive (+) battery terminal.
oConnect the Black lead from the charger to the negative (-) battery terminal.
If Battery is still in the vehicle, determine if the vehicle is positively or negatively
earthed.
