FOR YOUR SAFETY
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions. Read this manual carefully
before using the charger for the first time and keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference.
PRODUCT FEATURE
Congratulations on your purchase of the Carpoint 5-Step fully automatic switch mode battery
charger and maintainer, designed for charging a variety of lead acid batteries, widely used in
motorbikes and several other vehicles. The batteries may be of various types i.e. WET/Flooded
(Liquid Electrolyte), GEL (Gelatin type Electrolyte, absorbed into the plates), AGM (Absorbed Glass
Mat), MF, VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries.
Their capacity range from 6V/1.2Ah to 6V/12Ah and from 12V/7.2Ah to 12V/60Ah. Using
state-of-the art technology, the charger enables the recharging of the batteries to almost 100%
of their original capacity. It recovers slightly sulphated batteries. It diagnoses and rescues drained
battery. It provides trickle charge and maintenance charging which increases battery life and
gives superb performance. It is also ideal fro maintaining batteries of non-regularly used vehicles
of all types. It has memory function. The charger returns to last selected mode automatically
when power is switched on. For repetitive charging process, this is a very useful feature. However
different charging mode could be selected by pressing the “MODE” button. It also features low
back current drain and low ripple.

SELECT CHARGING MODE
The Carpoint battery charger has unique memory function. The charger returns to last selected
mode automatically when power is switched on. For repetitive charging process, this is a handy
feature. However to charge various batteries at different ambient temperature a specific charging
mode could be selected manually by pressing the selection button until the light for
correct voltage is lit. Within 0.5 second, the charger activates the selected mode.
RESET / DELETING SETTINGS
In beginning of charging process after connection to the power supply, the charger automatically
resets itself to “Power” basic settings and remains in position unless further action is
executed by the user. Yellow LED is lit.

After a full charge, if the battery is not disconnected from the charger, it remains in trickle charge
mode. The default mode is OFF output.
MODE 1 [6V] (6.8V/1.0A) and (7.2V/0.6A)
This mode is suitable for charging 6V batteries with capacity range from 1.2-12Ah in normal
conditions. Connect the output terminals of the charger to the battery with right polarity. Connect
the power cord to the power outlet to begin charging.
Press the selection button to select Mode 1 . After executing this operation
the corresponding LED display will light up. If no further process is activated, the
electronic system will automatically start the charging with a current of 5.25V~6.8V/1.0A±10%
and 6.8V~7.2V/0.6A±10%. Charging shall continue in several stages: 
until battery is fully charged up to 7.2V±0.125V. During battery
capacitance verification stage (charger on 30 minutes off 30 minutes) when battery voltage
≥6.8-0.15V/0.2A at this stage all intermediate charging status LEDs display , ,
will turn on one by one until, finally LED display will turn on. The Trickle
current (0.1A±10%) is now available to battery for maintenance.
MODE 2 [12V] (13.6V/1.0A) and (14.4V/0.6A)
This mode is suitable for charging 12V batteries with capacity range from 7.2-60Ah in normal
conditions. Connect the output terminals of the charger to the battery with right polarity. Connect
the power cord to the power outlet to begin charging.
Press the selection button to select Mode 2 . After executing this operation
the corresponding LED display will light up. If no further process is activated, the
electronic system will automatically start the charging with a current of 10.5V~13.6V/1.0A±10%
and 13.6V~14.4V/0.6A±10%. Charging shall continue in several stages: 
until battery is fully charged up to 14.4V±0.25V. During battery
capacitance verification stage (charger on 30 minutes off 30 minutes) when battery voltage
≥13.6-0.3V/0.2A at this stage all intermediate charging status LEDs display , ,
will turn on one by one until, finally LED display will turn on. The Trickle
current (0.1A±10%) is now available to battery for maintenance.
Rescuing Drained Battery
When charger is connected to a battery, before the start of charging process, the charger
automatically detects the voltage of the battery. If voltage is below 1V (for 6V battery) and 7.5V
(for 12V battery) the Carpoint charger will not start due to its internal safety circuit. It initiates
recovery charging mode by applying a high voltage 8V (for 6V batteries) or 16V (for 12V
batteries) at 200mA±50mA if the voltage is > 1.0V (for 6V batteries) or > 8V (for 12V batteries).

Once the voltage rises to ≥5.25V (for 6V batteries) or ≥10.5V (for 12V batteries) charger changes
over to previously selected charging mode. Now the battery can be charged faster and safer.
Most drained batteries can be charged and used again using this procedure. Rescuing process
terminates within 2 hours ± 15 mins.
Abnormality Protection
In case of short-circuit, open circuit, reversed polarity connection or battery voltage below 1.0V
(for 6V batteries) or below 8V (for 12V batteries), the charger will turn-off the electronic system
and will immediately reset the system back to basic position to avoid damage to battery and
charger.
Overheating Protection
This Carpoint charger is protected by NTC control. During the charging process, if the charger
becomes too hot, the power output is automatically reduced to protect itself from damage.
The charger continues to work trickle charge. Charger increases power automatically when the
ambient temperature drops.
