TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
•INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION: The charger has a built-in overheat and an
overload electronic circuit. This protects the charger from being damaged if overheated
or overloaded and will automatically decrease the charging current. Once the units in-
ternal temperature decreases to a safe level, the charger will resume normal charging.
•SAFETY TIMER PROTECTION: The charger has safety timers for every stage. If the
battery Voltage doesn’t reach a certain Voltage within a certain time, the unit will stop
charging as it’s highly likely that you’re attempting to charge a severely discharged or
heavily sulphated battery. If any of the stages time out, the charger will immediately
stop charging in order to protect the battery. This will be indicated with the fault LED
flashing slowly.
•REVERSE POLARITY: The charger has reverse polarity protection. If the charger output
leads are connected reverse polarity, the fault LED will come ON and the charger will be
disabled. Simply unplug the charger from AC power and then connect the output leads
to the correct polarity.
• SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: The charger will automatically turn OFF if the output
leads are short circuited and the fault LED will come ON. This prevents the charger from
being damaged if the positive and negative crocodile clips or the optional ring terminals
accidently touch each other while the charger is turned ON.
•ECO MODE: This Kincrome Battery Charger has a built in ultra low power consumption
circuit. If AC power is connected and the battery is disconnected, after 10 seconds the
charger will automatically go into an ECO mode. During this mode the power drawn
is less than 0.36W which totals 0.01kWh per day power consumption. If AC power is
connected and the battery is connected, once the battery is fully charged and during the
long term maintenance stage, the total power consumption is around 0.03kWh per day.
Both the selected Charge rate and Battery type LED’s will flash GREEN to indicate ECO
mode.

OPERATION CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Pre charge check & electrolyte level check
• Check the Battery Electrolyte levels (Not required on sealed & maintenance free
batteries). If necessary, remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the levels are
halfway between the upper and lower fill lines.
• Check the battery Voltage, type and Ah capacity to ensure the charger is compatible and
to determine which Battery Type and Charge Rate settings you will use.
• Ensure the battery is in a well ventilated area and the charger should be as far away
from the battery as the cables permit.

4. The Charging Process:
• Qualification - Battery Condition Check
When the charger is first switched ON it checks the battery condition to determine
whether the battery needs reconditioning. During this qualification process it checks
the internal impedance and initial Voltage of the battery and it will determine how much
charge current, if any that the battery will accept.
• Enhanced Battery Rejuvenation - BLUE Bulk LED Flashing Fast
If the initial qualification detected that the battery was in poor condition, the patented
rejuvenation process will begin automatically. During the rejuvenation process a high
Voltage equalising and peak pulse reconditioning charge is used to repair the sulphated
battery. This unique patented feature will break down and dissolve the lead-sulphate
crystal build up on the battery plates which will extend the life of your battery.
It can also balance out high concentrations of acid. The equalisation Voltage will be
16V DC maximum. If the battery Voltage doesn’t reach 9V DC within 24 hours, the
Rejuvenation process will time out.
• Soft Start Charging - BLUE Bulk LED Flashing Slow
Gently charges the battery using a reduced charge output until the battery Voltages
reaches 11V DC. If the battery Voltage doesn’t reach 11V within 6 hours, the safety timer
protection will stop the unit from charging and the Red Fault LED and Blue Bulk LED
will start flashing.
• Bulk Charging - BLUE Bulk LED ON (Charge Voltage depends on battery type selection)
Uses the maximum selected charge output until the battery Voltage reaches
14.1/14.4/14.7V DC. If the battery Voltage doesn’t reach this within 24 hours, the safety
timer protection will stop the unit from charging and the RED Fault LED will start
flashing and the BLUE Bulk LED will be ON.
• Absorption Charging - GREEN Absorption LED ON
Uses a constant Voltage while reducing the charging output current to ensure the
battery receives a full charge without overcharging the battery.
3. Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (240AC)
• The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched ON.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure the correct Battery Type and your desired Charge Rate
is selected to suit your battery by pressing the Select Buttons within the first 5 minutes
of charging. For Example do not charge a Gel Battery on the Calcium Battery Type
setting as this may damage your battery and / or reduce your battery life.
Note: If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates RED, please check your connections as it’s
likely that the Positive (RED (+)) and Negative (BLACK (-)) Leads are reversed.

• Equalisation Charging - BLUE Bulk LED and GREEN Absorption LED
both flashing
A well proven process that carefully overcharges the battery to restore it’s full capacity.
The Equalisation stage for CALCIUM Battery type selection is automatic.
The Equalisation stage for AGM&WET and GEL Battery Types only occurs if the initial
start Voltage is below 11 Volts.
• Battery Analysis - GREEN Full LED ON
The battery analysis stage checks the condition of the battery after the charge cycle is
completed. If the battery Voltage drops too quickly during the analysis mode, this means
the battery is probably faulty. If the battery analysis failed, this is indicated by the Green
Full LED flashing.
• Float Mode - Full GREEN LED ON
This stage allows you to keep the charger connected 24/7 to ensure your battery is
well maintained and kept 100% fully charged. Float mode will maintain the battery at a
constant 13.6V.
• Long Term Maintenance - Full GREEN LED ON
During long term maintenance / float mode, the unit will apply a special pulse charge to
ensure the battery is kept in optimal condition.
5. Disconnecting the Battery charger from Battery
• If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
(1) Switch OFF and Remove the AC Pin Plug from the outlet.
(2) Remove the BLACK (-) lead and then the RED (+) lead.
• If the battery is still in the vehicle:
(1) Switch OFF and Remove the AC Pin Plug from the outlet.
(2) Remove the BLACK (-) lead from the vehicle chassis.
(3) Remove the RED (+) lead from the battery.
Note: Check electrolyte levels if possible after charging as they may need topping up with
distilled water. (This does not apply to sealed maintenance free batteries)
