WARNING:
1. Before use, carefully read the instruction manual and retain for future reference.
2. The chargemaster charger is not weather proof. So care and common sense must
be exercised if using outdoors. Do not expose to moisture.
3. Always switch off power at the mains supply before connecting or disconnecting
the battery charger & engine starter.
4. Never smoke, cause a spark or charge near an open flame. Never allow conduc-
tive materials to short circuit the charger or battery terminals.
5. Always use in a well-ventilated space.
6. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision and should always be used responsibly and stored in an appropriate
place to prevent misuse.
7. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an author-
ized service agent or a suitably qualified person in order to avoid any potential haz-
ards.
Guarantee:
This sip battery charger is covered by a 12 month parts and labour warranty covering
failure due to manufacturers defects. This does not cover failure due to misuse or op-
erating the machine outside the scope of this manual.
In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor immediately. Proof of
purchase will be required before any warranty can be honoured.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions:
1. This Instruction Manual contains important safety instructions. Please keep it safe
for future reference.
2. The Chargemaster smart 16 battery charger is designed to charge 6v &12v Stan-
dard lead acid, AGM and Gel lead-acid batteries as shown in Table 1. Do not
attempt to charge batteries of other types.
3. The charger is designed to be powered from a domestic mains power outlet,
which is reliably connected to the buildings ground (earth) point. If the supply ca-
ble needs to be extended, ensure the cross-sectional area of the wire is of a suffi-
cient size for the supply of current over the distance required.
4. If the charger is interrupted or damaged due to heavy impact etc., the battery
should be taken off charge immediately.
5. Do not dismantle the charger. If repairs are required, they should be performed
by a suitably qualified person. Incorrect reassembly may result in a fire hazard
and / or electric shock. Always disconnect the charger from any connected bat-
tery and the mains supply prior to cleaning the casing.
6. When connecting the charger to a vehicle’s battery. Always connect the battery
terminal not connected to the chassis first. The other connection is to be made to
the chassis as far away as practical from the battery and fuel line (a spark can be
generated when connecting the second clip which can ignite battery or fuel
gases). The battery charger is then to be connected to the mains supply. Once
charging is complete, disconnect the battery charger from mains supply first, and
then remove the chassis connection followed by the battery connection.
7. During charging, batteries give off some hydrogen and oxygen creating a highly
explosive mix. Ensure adequate ventilation exists and avoid sparks, smoking,
etc…
8. During battery maintenance ensure adequate clean water is available in the
event of an acid spill. The liquid inside batteries is highly corrosive therefore ensure
that it is not allowed to make contact with the skin (especially eyes). In the event
of contact, flush the area with clean water and immediately consult a doctor.
9. Lead-acid batteries store a large amount of energy. Short-circuiting the battery or
charger terminals will cause the battery to try and release this energy immedi-
ately, which can result in fire or personal injury. Prevent any metal object (or other
conductive material) from touching the + and – terminals of the charger or bat-
tery at the same time.

Specifications and Scope of Applicability (see table 1 below):
Table 1
Model Current level and capacity of acid and lead-acid batteries
suitable for charging
03945 (2A) 4-30 Ah; (10A) 20-100 Ah
Functional Characteristics:
1. Secondary phase-shifting, conducting and constant-current control of trans-
former.
2. 3-digit 0.56” LED display indicates charging voltage, current, battery capacity
percentage and starting current.
3. The chargemaster battery charger is a smart type charger, it can identify a 6v /
12v battery, then charge accordingly. There is no 6v / 12v choice button.
4. Output short circuiting and overload protection - Output voltage monitor circuit is
set up to cut off the output current when the load is short-circuited, overloaded or
reverse polarity connected. The circuit will recover the output automatically as
soon as the load is connected correctly.
5. Indication and protection of the reverse connection of battery.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Operating Environment and Placement:
1. The charger should only be used in a well-ventilated and dry place free from di-
rect sunlight or corrosive gas and away from sources of heat.
2. Operate the charger as far away as possible from the battery and ensure the
charger and battery are placed on a strong and stable surface.
3. Never place the charger directly on the battery or battery on the charger.
4. During charging, if the temperature of battery exceeds 400C, current shall be re-
duced. If the temperature exceeds 450C, charging shall be stopped. Charging
shall not be recommenced until the battery temperature reduces to safe limits.
Charging operation:
a. Connect the charger’s red clamp to the battery’s “+” terminal, connect the
charger’s black clamp to the battery’s “-” terminal.
b. Connect the mains plug to an appropriate power supply (230v ~).
c. The charger’s LED display will show the battery’s current voltage.
d. Press the “BATTERY SELECT” switch，you can choose the battery type to be
charged, Such as REGULAR lead acid, AGM or GEL.
e. Press the “FUNCTION SELECT” switch, to choose the required function.
f. Press the “CURRENT SELECT” switch to choose the required charge current.
(Such as FAST or SLOW).
g. Confirm all choices are correct, press the “ENTER” button for 3 seconds, until
the LED DISPLAY is bright; this means the charger is working.
h. When the charger is working normally, you can press “DISPLAY SELECT”, to
check CHARGING VOLTAGE，CHARGING CURRENT and BATTERY CAPACITY
PERCENTAGE.
i. When the battery is charged, the LED display will show “FULL”.
j. If the charger stops working, please press “ENTER”, if the LED DISPLAY is glittery,
it means the charger has stopped working.
