“Recovery” Regenerating mode for sulphatised batteries. Select by holding the function key
depressed for 3 seconds (display: “REC”). No error messages are displayed
during the charging process. An increased voltage of 15.5 V is forced.
Note! Only run recovery mode with the battery disconnected from the ve-
hicle in order to avoid damage! Do not charge lithium batteries in recovery
mode under any circumstances! The CHARGE LED ashes.

Use of the charger:
Connection
1. Connect the charger’s power cable up to the power socket and the power switch.
2. Firstly, connect the red clip to the battery’s positive terminal.
3. Then connect the black clip to either the battery’s negative terminal or the chassis ground.
4. Select the desired mode (see “Available modes”) and press Start.
5. When subsequently switching to another mode, interrupt the current mode rstly by pressing Stop.
Disconnection
1. Once you have nished using the charger, press Stop and disconnect the device from the mains.
2. Remove the black clip from the negative terminal/chassis ground.
3. Then remove the red clip from the battery’s positive terminal.
Charging the battery
JMP Skan battery chargers support the charging of all conventional battery types:
standard lead acid; gel; AGM; EFB; lithium (LiFePO4).
1. Connect the device to the battery/vehicle as previously described.
2. Select the CHARGE mode using the function key.
3. Then use Amperage to select the battery capacity and Volt / Batt. to select the battery type.
4. Use the Start/Stop key to start the supply of electricity.
5. Use the Start/Stop key to stop the charging process.
The power cable mode “FLASH”
Extensive diagnostic work and “ashing” of vehicle software result in high loading of the battery. In order to
guarantee a safe process which does not damage the battery, the JMP Skan o󰀨ers a special mode, which
supports the 12 V battery with up to 60 A.
1. Connect the device to the battery/vehicle as previously described.
2. Select the FLASH mode using the function key.
3. Then use Amperage to select the required current and Volt / Batt. to select the desired voltage.
4. Use the Start/Stop key to start the supply of electricity.
5. Use the Start/Stop key to stop the supply of electricity.

Battery analysis and error messages:
The device is capable of checking the battery condition before and during the charging process and displa-
ying any connection issues between the charger and the battery to be charged. This is done via a digital
display on which the error code is shown. The following displays may appear in case of faults during the
charging procedure:
Display Reason Solution
Er01 Cable disconnected or short-
circuited.
Connect the clips correctly and restart
the charging procedure.
Battery completely short-circuited. Battery may be defective.
Er02 Battery defective or not recovera-
ble. No charging rate possible after
20 hours of recovery.
Battery likely defective.
Er03 Battery charger overheated. Device
overloaded.
Ensure that the ventilation system is
not blocked or move the device to a
cooler location.
Er04 Voltage error, battery voltage too
low.
Use Recovery mode. Only use the
device with 12 V batteries. Restart the
charging procedure.
Battery with one or multiple short-
circuited elements.
Battery likely defective.
Er05 Battery with too low voltage. Only use the device with 12 V batte-
ries. Restart the charging procedure.
Er06 Battery with too high charging
capacity. Charging procedure never
completes.
Use a charger with a higher charging
capacity.
Er07 and
LED Reverse
The adapter cable clips are not
connected to the battery correctly.
Position the clips correctly and restart
the charging procedure.
Er08 Output current too high. Current
above max. permissible limit.
Battery likely defective.

Charging cycles:
The charging cycles of our new battery chargers were developed specially for optimisation of the charging
of all commercially available batteries. The range of di󰀨erent technologies employed in the batteries com-
mercially available today require di󰀨erent charging characteristics to ensure correct and complete charging.
The JMP Skan chargers extend the life of your batteries as they guarantee the right charging cycle for each
type of batteries.
1. Analysis “A1” Voltage test. The next phase starts at above 6.5 V (Recovery: 2.5 V).
2. “Starting Ch” precharging
Charging procedure with constant current until a voltage of 13 V is
reached.
In Recovery mode only: Prior to the precharging, a higher voltage (15.5.
V) is forced and the charging current increased in order to recover the
battery capacity.
3. Analysis “A2”
(Not applicable to Recovery
mode)
Search for possible short circuit. The charger interrupts the supply of
electricity for 5 minutes. If the voltage drops below 11.7 V during this
time, the charging is cancelled. If not, phase 4 begins. In case of a
short-circuited element or sulphatisation (Er02), charging in Recove-
ry mode is recommended.
4. “Bulk” intensive charging Charges the battery to the dened maximum permissible value.
5. “Stable” constant voltage. The battery is maintained at the end-of-charge voltage.
6. Analysis “A3” Final voltage test.
7. “Floating” bu󰀨er The voltage drops to the maintenance level and the charge is com-
plete. The green Full LED lights up.
8. “Pulse” pulse charging cycle Battery trickle charging via current pulses (for extended periods of
time).
