• Always refer to the baery manufacturers specicaons and recommendaons if you’re unsure
of your baery charging requirements.
• Explosive gases may escape from the baery during charging so please ensure the baery is
charged in a well-venlated area - never in a closed room.
• NEVER smoke, use an open ame or create sparks near a baery or charger during charging
operaon as explosive gases may cause an explosion. Flames, sparks, burning cigarees or other
ignion sources must be kept away at all mes.
• Baery acid can cause burns. Suitable hand, eye and face protecon and protecve clothing
must be worn.
• First Aid: For advice, contact the Poisons Informaon Centre in Australia (phone 13 11 26) or the
Naonal Poisons Centre in New Zealand (phone [phone]), or contact a doctor immediately.
If baery acid enters your eyes, hold eyelids apart and ush the eye connuously with running
water. Connue ushing for at least 15 minutes or unl advised to stop by poisons informaon
centre, naonal poisons centre or doctor. If baery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and ush
hair with soap and running water. Someone should always be within range of your voice.
• If electrolyte is swallowed, do NOT induce voming – give a glass of water. Seek immediate
medical assistance.
• When working with lead-acid baeries, remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, watches and make sure you don’t short circuit the baery terminals with any type of
metal tool, piece of jewellery or other conductors as this will cause an explosion. You can wrap
your spanner with insulaon tape to minimise the risk of a short circuit.
• Acid spill response: Bund and neutralise spills with soda ash or other suitable alkali. Dispose of
residue as chemical waste or as per local requirements.
• This charger is designed for indoor use only and should not be exposed to water, rain, snow,
liquids etc.
• Do not aempt to use the charger if it has been dropped or damaged or if the cables or plugs are
damaged.
• Never aempt to charge a damaged baery, frozen baery or non-rechargeable baery.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Never place the charger on the baery or baery on the charger.
• Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to a qualied and authorised person for repair.

2 • Owner’s manual - Model. CC1212-XLi
• If using a generator, you must ensure you use a surge protector to protect the charger from
voltage spikes.
• The charger must not be used or played with by inrm persons or children. Also keep away from
pets.
• Turn engine and or charger o before disconnecng a baery*
* In some vehicles, ignion may be required to be placed in accessory mode where electronic
memory minder is present.
MAIN FEATURES

7 - Analysis
• Baery condion analysis.
• Baery voltage retenon analysis.
• Automac diagnosis and charge: On power up, the charger will automacally diagnose
the baery condion and determine if the rejuvenaon mode (recondioning) or charge
cycle is required.
• Selectable baery type.
• Selectable charge rate / mode.
12A - Rapid Charge Mode: Uses maximum charging current (12 Amps) to ensure the
fastest charge me. You may hear the fan turn on during this mode.
8A - Silent Charge Mode: Charges at a reduced charge rate (8 Amps) and the cooling
fan is not required.
1A - Maintenance Mode: Ideal and recommended for long term maintenance
charging or for charging smaller baeries. NOTE: When used in maintenance mode,
please check that the applicaon’s current draw does not exceed the charging
current.
• LFP Wake Up - Power Supply: 13.8V 12A Max Power Supply Mode which is me limited
for 24 Hours before automacally switching back to LITHIUM (LFP) Charging Mode.

3 • Owner’s manual - Model. CC1212-XLi
• Patented baery rejuvenaon (recondioning) technology: The charger has a unique
and patented rejuvenaon feature which uses high voltage equalising and peak pulse
recondioning to repair sulphated baeries. This feature is fully automac and depends
on the internal impedance of the baery. It also depends on whether the baery is sll
connected in the vehicle.
• Ultra-low power consumpon (ECO Mode).
• Pulse charge for long term maintenance.
• Can be le on 24/7 to ensure your baery is always maintained and fully charged: The
baery charger can be le permanently connected all year round. The intelligent charger
will monitor the baery voltage and will maintain it at peak performance with a special
pulse charge during long term maintenance. Please note that even if the baery charger
incorporates this feature Century Baeries does not recommend leaving the baery
charger connected 24/7.
• Short circuit and reverse polarity protecon.
• Heavy-duty and corrosion-resistant output connectors.
• Crocodile clips / Ring Terminals: It comes with a quick connect y lead and heavy duty,
fully insulated crocodile clip harness and ring terminal harness.
TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
• INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION: The charger has a built-in overheat and overload
electronic circuit. This protects the charger from being damaged if overheated or
overloaded and will automacally decrease the charging current. Once the unit’s internal
temperature decreases to a safe level, the charger will resume normal charging.
• SAFETY TIMER PROTECTION: The charger has safety mers for every stage. If the baery
voltage doesn’t reach a certain voltage within a specic me, the unit will stop charging
as it is highly likely that you are aempng to charge a severely discharged or heavily
sulphated baery. If any of the stage’s mes out, the charger will immediately stop
charging in order to protect the baery. This will be indicated with the fault LED ashing
slowly.
• REVERSE POLARITY: The charger has reverse polarity protecon. If the charger output
leads are connected in reverse polarity, the fault LED will come on and the charger will
be disabled. Simply unplug the charger from AC power and then connect the output
leads to the correct polarity.
• SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: The charger will automacally turn o if the output leads
are short circuited and the fault LED will come on. This prevents the charger from being
damaged if the posive and negave crocodile clips or the ring terminals accidentally
touch each other while the charger is turned on.
• ECO MODE: This Century baery charger has a built in ultra-low power consumpon
circuit. If AC power is connected and the baery is disconnected, aer 10 seconds the
charger will automacally go into ECO mode. During this mode the power drawn is less
than 0.36W which totals 0.01kWh per day power consumpon. If AC power is connected
and the baery is connected, once the baery is fully charged and during the long-term
maintenance stage, the total power consumpon is around 0.03kWh per day.
Both the selected Charge rate and Baery type LEDs will ash GREEN to indicate ECO
mode.
