If electrical devices are incorrectly connected on boats, corrosion
damage to the boat might occur. Have the device connected by a
specialist (marine) electrician.
•If you are working on electrical systems, ensure that there is somebody
close at hand who can help you in emergencies.
!WARNING!
•Always use sockets which are grounded and secured by residual cur-
rent circuit breakers.
•Make sure that the lead has a sufficient cross-section.

2.5 Safety precautions when handling batteries
!WARNING!
•Batteries contain aggressive and caustic acids. Avoid battery fluid
coming into contact with your body. If your skin does come into
contact with battery fluid, wash the part of your body in question
thoroughly with water.
If you sustain any injuries from acids, contact a doctor immediately.
!CAUTION!
•When working on the batteries, do not wear any metal objects such as
watches or rings.
Lead acid batteries can cause short circuits which can cause serious
injuries.
•Danger of explosions!
Never attempt to charge a frozen or defective battery.
Place the battery in a frost-free area and wait until the battery has accli-
matised to the ambient temperature. Then start the charging process.
•Wear goggles and protective clothing when you work on batteries.
Do not touch your eyes when you are working on the battery.
•Do not smoke and ensure that no sparks can arise in the vicinity of the

5 Intended use
The battery charger can charge or supply a float charge voltage to 12 V batteries
used to generate power in vehicles or on boats.
The battery charger can be used on the following types of battery:
•Lead automotive batteries
•Gel batteries
•Fleece batteries (AGM)
•Maintenance-free batteries
A
The battery charger is only suitable for use indoors.
The battery charger is not suitable for mounting in one fixed place. The wall bracket
(accessory; ref. no. 9102500079) must be used for this purpose.
6 Technical description
The battery charger charges batteries that are used as a source of voltage on board
vehicles or boats, or supplies them with a float charge voltage to ensure they are not
discharged.
The service life of most lead batteries is reduced by sulphation: lead sulphate forms
into large, smooth crystals over the course of time and the amorphous, spongy
structure disappears. The ability to recharge and therefore the charging capacity
gradually decreases and the battery ages.
Thebatterycharger operatesusingspecific frequencies in parts of itscharging curve.
This causes the crystals to vibrate in their resonant frequency. They decompose into
their amorphous structure. Their molecules can be integrated back into the charging
process which in turn increases the charging voltage, starting current and the
capacity of the battery again.
All lead batteries are protected from premature ageing by regular charging using the
battery charger.
The battery charger can be operated in three operating modes:
•Mode 1: Charge mode with 14.4 V
This mode is used for lead, gel and maintenance-free batteries.
NOTICE!
The battery charger may not be used on other types of batteries (e.g.
NiCd, NiMH etc.) or defective batteries (e.g. with a cell short circuit).

•Mode 2: Charge mode with 14.7 V
This mode is used for AGM batteries.
•Mode 3: Voltage supply with 13.7 V (battery is not connected)
This mode is used as a power supply function, e.g. for supplying voltage to the
vehicle in the event of replacing a battery, or during maintenance work using
service devices.
The device can be installed on a wall using the wall bracket for stationary storage
(accessory).
Furthermore, an external battery indicator (accessory) can be used. This shows the
battery capacity and can be connected to the battery permanently using a connec-
tion cable with cable lugs. When it indicatesthe battery is empty, the battery charger
can be connected to the battery indicator and the battery can be charged directly.
The battery indicator can be attached to a wall or to a wall bracket for the battery
charger using a wall bracket.

Designation Description
Red LED Flashing: The polarity is incorrect, or the battery voltage is less than
9V.
Constantly lit: The connection to the battery was disconnected
during the charging process.
Green LED Constantly lit: Mode 1 or mode 3 is active.
Flashing: Mode 2 is active.
Blue LEDs In mode 1 and mode 2, the LEDs indicate the phase in which the
battery charger is currently operating (see the following table).
The LEDs flash in succession when the battery charger is operating
in wait mode (the mains voltage is connected but the battery is not
connected).
The LEDs flash simultaneously when the battery charger is ready for
use (mains voltage is connected, battery is connected, button has
not been pressed).

6.3 Battery charging function
The battery charger operates in eight phases (fig. 3, page 4).
1: Desulphation
Sulphated batteries are revived in the desulphation phase. The current and voltage
pulse, so that sulphate is decomposed into its amorphous structure. The battery
capacity is restored.
2: Soft start
The charging capability of the battery is tested using the power consumption in the
soft-start phase. When the battery is defective, the charging process is aborted.
3: I phase (bulk)
The empty battery is charged with constant current (100 % charge current). As soon
as the battery voltage has reached the charge voltage, the charge current decreases.
4: U0 phase (absorption)
The voltage remains constant during the U0 phase (U0). Once the battery is com-
pletely charged, the U0 phase has finished.
5: Analysis
The float charge of the battery is checked in the analysis phase. If the voltage drops
too quickly, the battery can not retain the charge and must be replaced.
6: Reconditioning
The voltage is increased again in the reconditioning phase in order to generate
controlled gas formation in the battery. This gas formation prevent acid stratification
(different concentrations of acid in the battery cells).
7: U phase (float)
The battery switches to float charging in the U phase. The battery voltage is retained
at 100 %.

8: Maintenance
In the maintenance phase, the charging voltage is switched off and the battery
voltage is permanently measured. If it falls below 12.8 V, the battery charger charges
the battery up to a maximum of 14.4 V. Then it switches the charging voltage off
again and measures the battery voltage again.
This ensures secure winterizing, for example.
