The charger is a microprocessor controlled automatic charger, i.e. it is suitable in
particular for charging maintenance-free batteries and for the long-term charging and
maintenance-charging of batteries which are not in constant use, e.g. for classic cars,
recreational vehicles, lawn tractors and the like. The integrated microprocessor enables
charging in several steps. The nal charging step, maintenance charging, maintains the
battery capacity at 95-100% and therefore keeps the battery fully charged at all times.
The charging operation does not need to be monitored. However, do not leave the
battery unattended if you charge it over an extended period of time, so that you can
disconnect it from the mains power supply in the event of a fault in the charger.

5.2.2 Special charging programs

F) RECOND: Charging program with higher end- of-charge voltage and constant
current charging, used only for restoring the charging capability of lead acid batteries
which have undergone exhaustive discharge. Not for AG
The RECOND process must be checked every half an hour and must never exceed a time
of 1,5-2 hours. Refer to the instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
џGassing generates explosive gas - risk of explosion! Ensure that there is good
ventilation.
џOnly use the RECOND program for lead acid batteries and only as described below.
Take care to avoid spilling any battery acid. Battery acid is aggressive. Read and
observe the safety information.
Warning!
џNever use for a battery which is of sealed design (VRLA battery such as, e.g. AGM or
GEL battery). Refer to the instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Using the RECOND charging program
џConnect the charger to a lead acid battery as described in section 5.3 and check the
charging process every half hour.
џAfter 2 hours at the latest or as soon as the battery starts audibly gassing (bubbling),
remove the charger as described in section 5.3.
џIf possible, check the acid level and, if possible, top up the battery cells, if necessary
just with distilled water. The acid level should ideally be between the marked max.
and min. level and should be identical for all the cells. Screw the battery stoppers, if
there are any, tightly in place.
H) SUPPLY: For supplying 12V d.c. voltage, e.g. when changing a battery or for operating
12V d.c. consumers.
Press the “Mode” button -> switch from the RECOND to the SUPPLY function.
Warning! Protection against swapped poles will not be available. If the poles are
swapped there is a risk of damaging the charger and the battery/ on-board vehicle
power supply or a connected consumer. It is imperative that you make sure the polarity
is correct when you connect up. Observe the maximum power consumption (see
“Technical data”) of the consumer.
Note:
џOnly use for batteries which are free-standing and have been taken out of the car,
not while installed in your car with a connection to the car's electrical system. The
higher charging voltage could damage the electrical system.
џThe direct voltage which is provided (shown in the display) is load-dependent and
without load it is approx. 14.5 V.
џThis function can be used for consumers which are operated from a vehicle's
cigarette lighter.
џRefer to and observe the operating manual for your 12 V consumer.

The charging time depends on the charge status of the battery. If the battery is fully
discharged, the approximate charging time up to approx. 80% charged can be calcu-
lated using the following formula:
5.5 Fault indicator (Fig. 2 / Item G)
5.4 Calculating the charging time (Fig. 3)
џCheck the acid level in the battery. If necessary, top up the battery with distilled
water (if possible). Important! Battery acid is aggressive. Rinse off any acid splashes
thoroughly with lots of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
џIf there is a short-circuit between the two terminal clamps (the metal parts of the
clamps come into contact with each other). The protection against short-circuits
ensures that the battery and charger do not get damaged.
џRelease or remove the battery stoppers (if tted) from the battery.
џWhen “FUL' appears in the LCD display (and all increments Fig. 2/Item K), charging
has been completed. The charger holds the battery at 95% - 100% available battery
capacity using pulsed charging. If the charger shows this after just a few minutes,
this indicates that the battery capacity is low. The battery needs replacing.
џAfter the battery has been connected to the charger, you can connect the charger to
a socket (see Technical Data). You can now change the charging settings (see
section 5.2).
џIf the terminal clamps are connected to the battery terminals with the wrong
polarity. The protection against swapped poles ensures that the battery and charger
do not get damaged. Remove the charger from the battery and start the charging
process from the beginning again. Caution! Protection against swapped poles is not
available when the SUPPLY program is used.
џFirst connect the red charging cable to the positive pole of the battery. Then connect
the black charging cable to the negative pole of the battery.
The fault indicator will ash (light up) in the following cases:
5.3 Charging the battery:
џImportant! Charging may create dangerous explosive gas and therefore you should
avoid spark formation and naked ames whilst the battery is charging. There is a risk
of explosion! It is essential that you ventilate the rooms well.
џIf the voltage of the battery is less than 3.5 V or more than 15 V. The battery is either
unsuitable for charging or is defective. It is also possible that other battery errors or
faults can mean that the battery cannot be charged.
Charging time/h =
Amp. (charging current)
Battery capacity in Ah

Important! If the mains plug is pulled out but the charger cables are still connected to
the battery, the charger will draw off a small amount of electricity from the battery. We
therefore recommend that you always completely remove the charger from the battery
when not in use.
џKeep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at
low pressure.
џThen release the red charging cable from the positive pole on the battery.
џKeep the battery clean and dry. Apply a thin coating of grease to the connection
terminals using an acid-free, acid-resistant grease (Vaseline).
џCheck the level of the acid in batteries that are not maintenance-free versions
approximately every 4 weeks and top up with distilled water if necessary.
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
5.6 Finishing charging the battery
џPull the plug out of the socket.
џScrew or push the battery stoppers back into position (if there are any).
џEnsure that your battery is always tted securely.
џA perfect connection to the cable network of the electrical system must be ensured
at all times.
8.1 Cleaning
џFirst disconnect the black charging cable from the bodywork.
џWe recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have nished
using it.
The charger has electronic protection against overloading, short-circuits and swapped
poles when the 12V STD, 12V AGM, 12V Winter and 12V M programs are used. One or
more ne fuses are also tted. If the fuse suffers a defect it must be replaced by a new
fuse with the same amp value. If necessary, please contact our customer service center.
џClean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic par ts of the equipment.
Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric
tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
