in running water. Acid on the skin or in the eyes, rinse thoroughly in running water and
contact a doctor.
• A battery produces explosive gases during charging and good ventilation should there-
fore be ensured if charging takes place indoors.
• The charger have to be placed upright on a solid surface or hanged on the wall with
the possibility for good ventilation.
• The charger may not be covered or exposed to direct sunlight.
• The battery manufacturer advices have to be followed carefully.
• The charger can only be used for rechargeable lead/acid batteries.
• Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• The charging wires can only be changed to other keepower wires.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by authorised shop.
• Repair of the charger may only be done by an authorised shop.
• The charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physi-
cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the charger by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Safety instructions
Protect charger from moisture and keep dry.

The other connection is to be made to the chassis, remote from the battery
and fuel line. The battery charger is then to be connected to the supply mains;
• after charging, disconnect the battery charger from the supply mains. Then

Selection of the different charging modes
Normal charging is used on normal batteries (Wet, open type),
maintenance-free, GEL and sealed battery with a gas limit at 14.0V/12V
in Bulk mode, and 14.4V/12V in Aftercharge mode.
Normal charging is used on normal batteries (Wet, open type),
maintenance-free, GEL and sealed battery with a gas limit at 14.0V/12V
or 28.0V/24V in Bulk mode, and 14.4V/12V or 28.8V/24V in Aftercharge
mode.
“Bike charging” is the same as a “Normal Charging” but the current is
limited to 1A (only Keepower small).
Cold charging is used when the battery is below 5ºC and for most
AGM batteries. The gas limit is 14.4V/12V in Bulk mode, and 14.8V/12V
in Aftercharge mode.
Cold charging is used when the battery is below 5ºC and for most AGM
batteries. The gas limit is 14.4V/12V or 28.8V/24V in Bulk mode, and
14.8V/12V or 29.6V/24V in Aftercharge mode.
Supply Mode (Indication: Full LED constant):
The “Supply mode” is used as a power supply e.g. when the car is in a
showroom and the cars facilities is used without the motor running.
Incaseofoverload,theWarningLEDashes.Ifheavyoverload,the
charger switches off to protect it self (only Keepower Medium, Keepower
Large and Keepower XL-con). A battery has to be connected for
activation of “Supply mode”. Please note that spark protection is
not active when in supply mode.
Boost is selected by pressing the selection button for 3 sec.
(Indication: Flashing LED simultaneously):
Small, Medium and Large: XL-Con
The “Boost” phase is used to kick-start the battery if it has low power.
This “Boost” is made as an intelligent boosting. This means that the char-
ger is boosting the battery for 1 hour with maximum current and then the
battery is tested to see if it is ready for normal charging. If the battery is
not ready for normal charging, the charger will boost again. This process
is repeated 4 times and if the battery is not Ok after that the charger will
indicate a fault.
If nothing is selected within 5sec. the charger will start charging in the
mode selected last time.

• Charger can be constant connected.
For reliable reading, the battery should be at room temperature (20 ºC), and it
must have been resting for at least 4 hours (no charging has taken place either
in the vehicle or using the Inelco Intelligent Battery Care charger). If charging has
taken place within the last 4 hours, a higher reading will be the result.

The intelligent charging curve
Soft charge(Indication:DischargedLEDashing):
The “soft charge” phase is used when the battery is deep dis-
charged. The battery is charged until it is ready to receive normal
charging (12.0V) and then the normal charging is started.
Desulphation(Indication:DischargedLEDashing):
The “desulphation” phase is used if the battery has not been used
for a longer period.
Bulk charging (Indication:LowLEDashing):
The “bulk” phase is the phase where the battery under a constant
current is charged to app. 85% of the full capacity.
Absorption(Indication:MediumLEDashing):
The “absorption” phase is the phase where the battery under a
constant voltage is charged to app. 98% of the full capacity.
Testing Soft charge Desulphation Bulk charge Absorption After charge Testing Maintenance Maintenance

Small, Medium, Large and XL-Con
After charging(Indication:FullLEDashing):
The “after charging” phase is the phase where the battery under a
constant voltage is charged to app. 100% of the full capacity. The
voltage is raised 0.4V compared to the Bulk charging phase.
Testing (Indication:FullLEDashing):
The “testing” phase is the phase where the battery is tested for a
defect battery cell.
Maintenance (Indication: Full LED constant):
The purpose with “maintenance” phase is to keep the battery
fully charged over a long period of time. The charger is at all time
measuring the voltage and when it goes below 12,8 / 25,6 V it will
start charging the battery.
Boost(Indication:DischargedLEDashing):
The “Boost” phase is used to kick-start the battery if it has low
power. This “Boost” is made as an intelligent boosting.
This means that the charger is boosting the battery for 1 hour with
maximum current and then the battery is tested to see if it is ready
for normal charging. If the battery is not ready for normal charging,
the charger will boost again. This process is repeated 4 times and
if the battery is not Ok after that the charger will indicate a fault.
Please note that spark protection is not active when in
supply mode.

Error indication
Warning ashing:
• Clamps not connected to battery.
• Mains cable not plugged in or mains switch not switched on.
• Supply: overload, i.e. the voltage is dropping due to loading with more
than the nominal current (8/15/30A).
Warning constant:
Before start of charging
• Over voltage. E.g. a 12V charger connected to a 24V battery.
• Shorting the clamps.
• Clamps polarized wrong (i.e. plus to minus and vice versa).
While charging
• Battery can not be charged within the time of the security timer. If the
battery is larger than the recommended maximum size, charging once
more might help. If the Warning comes on during charging, try using the
Intelligent Boost function.
There can be two reasons for no indication in the battery tester during
testing:
• The battery in the car is deep discharged.
• Wrong polarization of the charger to the battery.
Maintenance
The charger can be cleaned with a moister cloth. Running water and deter-
gent contained solvent may not be used.
Repair of the chargers may only be done by an authorised shop and that
includes replacement of the battery cables.
