GENERAL
Before using this unit please read these instructions carefully.Take special care to follow
the warnings and safety suggestions listed below. Keep these instructions for future refer-
ence. There are no user-serviceable parts within the unit, refer servicing to qualied service
personnel.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced phys-
ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person respon-
sible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
2. Working in vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases
during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost important that each time
before using your charger, you read this manual and follow the instruction exactly.
3.To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the
battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of
battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and on engine
4.Use the charger in door only, do not expose it to rain.
WARNINGS
1. Use charger for charging LEAD-ACID battery only.
2. Do not use battery charger for other types of batteries, these may burst and cause injury to
persons and damage to property.
3. Use output socket for supply power to appliance with rated voltage DC12V and rated cur-
rent less than 12A only.
4. Use only attachments recommended or sold by manufacturer. Use of non-recommended
attachments may result in re, electric shock, or injury.
5. When disconnecting the battery charger, pull by the plug, not by the cord. Pulling on the
cord may cause damage to cord or plug.
6. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug. Have cord replaced immediately.
7. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise dam-
aged in any way. Take it to a qualied professional for inspection and repair.
8. Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a qualied professional when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or re.
9.To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any mainte-
nance or cleaning.
Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord
could result in re or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:
• Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on
charger. • Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger
10. Always charge battery in a well-ventilated area. NEVER operate in a closed-in or restricted
area without ad-equate ventilation. WARNING: Risk of explosive gas.
11. Locate charger as far away from battery as DC charger cable’s permit.
12. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
13. NEVER charge a frozen battery. If battery uid (electrolyte) is frozen, bring into a warm
area to thaw before charging.
14. NEVER allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading specic gravity or lling bat-
tery.
15. NEVER set a battery on top of charger.
16. NEVER place charger directly above battery being charged. Gases from battery will cor-
rode and damage charger.
17. NEVER touch the battery clips together when the charger is energized.
18. NEVER crank engine with charger attached to battery.
19. WARNING: Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection, when working with
lead-acid batteries.
20. Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when you work with or near a lead-acid battery.
21. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery acid contacts skin, clothing,
or eyes. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water.
22. Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid particles (corrosion) may get
into your eyes! If acid enters your eye, immediately
ood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
23. Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, neck laces, and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high
enough to weld a ring.
24.Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the battery. Metal may cause spark-
ing or short circuit the battery or another electrical devise. Sparking may cause an explosion.
25. Always operate battery charger in an open well-ventilated area.
26. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. Batteries
generate explosive gases!

APPLICATION & OPERATION
This series of battery charger is widely used in 6V/12V normal lead-acid battery which is
used in a variety of cars, sports cars, sport utility vehicles, RVs, van, pickup trucks, motorcy-
cles, snowmobiles, ATVs, motorboats, sailing etc. for charge and maintenance.The battery
charger uses constant current mode and oat charge mode.
1. Please choose correct charging voltage according to battery rated voltage
(e.g.6V battery choose 6V charging voltage).
2. Please connect red clamp to positive of battery “+”, and connect black clamp to
negative of battery “-”. nally connect to AC mains socket after all good connec-
tion.
3. Please remove the plug from the AC power before disconnect the battery, then
remove the clamp from battery.
1. Automatically enter oat mode
The charger will enter oat mode automatically when nished charge to prevent
overcharge.
2. DC input short-circuit protection
The charger will shut down automatically when DC input short-circuit.
3. Over-temperature protection
The charger will shut down in two situations as below, and it will enter charge
mode automatically when temperature recovers to the normal condition.
a. When charger used long time under high temperature.
b. When inside temperature of charger reaches the present temperature.
4. Over-voltage protection
5. Fire protection
There is no output in the clamp when disconnected with battery.
6. Low-voltage activation
The charger will enter the charge mode automatically when voltage of end of
clamp was higher than DC 2V, the charger will not output if voltage is lower than
DC 2V.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No reaction when power is on:
1. Check the battery charger is plugged into the socket and makes a good connection
2. AC socket whether has AC output?
3. Send the charger to professional person to test
Power indicator light but no AC output:
1. Check the clip is connected well
2. Check the terminal for corrosion
3. Check the wire of the clip to see if broken
4. Send the charger to professional person to test
Power indicator and fault indicator light at the same time:
