1Safety
RISK OF EXPLOSION
Only connect the battery leads when the mains supply is disconnected.
Explosive gases may escape from the battery during the charging process.
Prevent flames and sparks and provide adequate ventilation during charging.
Indoor use only.
Unplug the charger from the mains before breaking or making the connection to
the battery.
Not suitable for use with non-rechargeable batteries.
In addition to the battery types and capacity detailed in the specifications, the
charger is suitable for the following only:
• Charging only a single battery at any one time
• Charging rechargeable lead acid, Gel, EFB, AGM or calcium batteries
with 6 cells
The Ring SmartCharger automatically adjusts the charge rate applied as the
battery charges. With the battery fully charged the charging process stops, as
the battery naturally discharges further charge is applied until the battery is
again fully charged. This is an ongoing process to ensure a safe connection for an
indefinite period.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
The charger contains no serviceable replaceable parts.
Not for commercial use.

SmartCharge
The Ring RSC608/RESC608/RSC612/RESC612 are all 7 stage chargers
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1. Desulphation - The automatic desulphation stage pulse charges the battery to breakdown the build up of lead
sulphate crystals. These crystals occur when a battery has been discharged or left unused for a period of time.
2. Soft Start - A slow steady build up of the charging process that limits the charging current applied until the
battery voltage is above 12v.
3. Bulk Charge - The main part of the charging process where 80% of the required charge is applied
4. Absorption - Charged up to full capacity with a steady decline in charging current to allow the battery to absorb
more power.
5. Battery Test - The SmartCharge conducts an automatic discharge test. If further charging is required the battery
recondition function is automatically selected. If fully charged the battery goes into the float stage.
6. Recondition - An additional automatic charging stage to recover deeply discharged batteries.
7. Float - The float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or damaging the battery,
allowing the charger to be left connected to the battery for an indefinite period. Ideal for batteries used only
intermittently, such as seasonally used batteries including motorcycles, caravans, boats and classic cars.

5Connection
1. Ensure AC mains plug is not connected to the AC mains supply
2.
For batteries inside the vehicle:
• Attach the red (+) battery clip to the red (+) terminal on the battery
• Attach the black (-) battery clip to a bolt or bracket on the engine block, away from the battery and fuel lines
For batteries outside the vehicle:
• Attach the red (+) battery clip to the red (+) terminal on the battery
• Attach the black (-) battery clip to the black (-) terminal on the battery
3. The polarity check LED illuminates if the charger is connected to the battery incorrectly. i.e. the red (+) clip connected to
the black (-) battery terminal. Ensure connection is correct and the ‘Polarity Check’ LED is not illuminated
4. Connect mains plug to the AC mains supply and switch on.
5.
After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and
then the battery connection.
