1. OVERVIEW
Fit with up-to-date power supply device, float charger BAC4812-KP is specially designed for meet the
charging characteristics of the lead-acid engine starter batteries and can be used for long-term float
charging of 12V lead-acid batteries. The maximum charging current is 3A.
2. PERFORMANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS
1) Switch power supply structure, wide input alternating voltage range, small size, light weight, high
efficiency rate;
2) Automatic two-stage charging process (first constant current, then constant voltage) carried out
according to storage battery charging characteristics to prevent overcharging and significantly
prolong battery lifetime;
3) With auxiliary voltage output port. Firm voltage output: -12V.
4) +12V output has current protective circuit for short-circuit protection and reverse connection
protection.
5) -12V output has short-circuit self-recovery function.
6) Both charging voltage and current value can be regulated by potentiometer on the spot;
7) LED display: Power indication (Green light) and charging indication (Red light).

3. CHARGING PRINCIPLE
Two-Stage Method
Charging is performed according to the battery charging characteristics using two-stage method.
Charging type is ‘constant current type’ which means that when the battery terminal voltage falls below
the pre-set value, charging current will be constant; when the battery terminal voltage exceeds the
pre-set value, charging current will decrease with the rising of terminal voltage until the pre-set current
value is reached; then Chargers automatically return to float mode. As soon as charging current value
falls below 0.5A and the constant voltage value is reached, the battery is basically charged (charging
indicator will extinguish). After that charging current will only neutralize the battery self discharge. Even
long-term charging cannot harm the battery, as charger can keep the battery fully charged and so
guarantee long lifetime of the battery.

5. SETTING
5.1. VOLTAGE REGULATION
When regulating current on the scene, it needs to disconnect battery and charger and measure charger
output voltage while measuring voltage potentiometer until suitable value.
5.2. CURRENT REGULATION
Output connects to battery. Measure charging current when charging voltage isn’t higher than 12.5V and
set suitable value by regulating current potentiometer (AMP). It also can estimate current value
according to current potentiometer scale.
6. OPERATION
1)Connect terminals IN+ and IN- to direct voltage 48V using BVR 1mm2multi-strand copper line.
2)Connect +12V and 0V to battery positive and negative using BVR 1.5mm2multi-strand copper line.
3)Terminal 0V and -12V output regularly -12V. Max. output current: 200mA.
4)POWER：power supply indicator, illuminated when the charger is operating normally.
5)CHARGING：charging indicator, illuminated when charging current exceeds 0.5A.
6)VOLTS：charging voltage regulator potentiometer
7)AMP：charging current regulator potentiometer
8)FUSE：output fuse; rated current:5A; fuse will blow out when output connection reversed(no output
voltage). It will work normally once correct connection and replace the fuse.
9)Repla cing fus e op erat ion seque nce:
a) Press inward using straight screwdriver with less strength while screw one time anticlockwise
and then take it out.
b) Place new fuse and slip into fuse holder. Press strongly inward with straight screwdriver while
screw one time clockwise.
Note: Unsuitable operation or overexertion may make the fuse holder damaged.
Note:
1) Because there is diode and current-limiting circuit inner the charger, it can be used together with
charging generator, and there is no need to disconnect the charger when cranking.
2) During genset is running, high current will cause voltage drop in charging line, so recommend
separately connecting to battery terminal to avoid disturbance on sampling precision.
