CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE BATTERY
IMPORTANT:
Please do not operate the charger until you conrm the appropriate
charging mode for your battery. You can verify the voltage and
chemistry of the battery by consulting the manufacturer's manual,
or by reading the label on the battery.
1. Fix one end of the battery clamps with eyelet terminals to the
charger through the Hex Wrench included. Connect the red
terminal to the positive polarity (+), and the black terminal to the
negative polarity (-).
3. Connect the Sensor Plug to the jack on the charger, then attach
the Temperature Sensor to the battery.
2. Connect the other end of the battery clamps to the vehicle
battery. Connect the red clamp to the positive polarity (+), and the
black clamp to the negative polarity (-).
TIP:
When the temperature of the battery is over 65°C (149°F),the Temperature Indicator
light will turn red, and the charger will stop working. Disconnect the charger and wait until
the battery cools down, then recharge it.

CONSTANT VOLTAGE SUPPLY
The SUPPLY mode maintains power for vehicle programming and
extended maintenance ensuring operational order for both the
vehicle and battery.
CHARGING STEPS
1) DIAGNOSIS Checks the battery's initial condition including
voltage, state-of-charge, and health, to determine if the battery is
stable before charging.
2) DESULPHATION Uses voltage or high-frequency pulses to break
down the sulfates that have built up over time in the aging battery
to optimize life and performance.
3) PRE-CHARGE Starts the charging process with a low stable
current that gradually increases until the battery capacity returns
25%. This reduces the stress put on batteries by sudden surges.
4) SOFT START Provides a medium stable current until the battery
capacity returns 50%.
5) BULK CHARGE Begins the Bulk charging process based on the
condition of the battery until the battery capacity returns 80%.

6) ABSORPTION Brings the charge level to 100% by delivering small
amounts of current to provide a safe, efcient charge. This limits
battery gas emission and prolongs life.
7) ANALYSIS Monitors whether the battery voltage falls below its
target threshold. If yes, the charger will enter the Recondition mode.
8) RECONDITION Checks the battery status, and then recovers
small currents to improve the capacity.
9) MAINTENANCE Checks the battery status and brings the
charge level back to 100%. Then the ANALYSIS, RECONDITION, and
MAINTENANCE will form into a charge cycle to keep the battery
at full charge. The battery charger can be safely left connected
indenitely without the risk of overcharging.

FAQ
Q: What is the input voltage of TORNADO90000?
A: The TORNADO90000 is produced in two models with different
input voltages: 100-120V and 200-240V. Please check the label
on the back of the product to conrm the input voltage. Do not
connect TORNADO90000 with 100-130V input voltage to a 220V
power supply, which will cause damage and even re.
Q: How to select the charging current?
A: The optimum charging current is related to the battery capacity.
We recommend that the current value should not be greater than
20% of the battery capacity value. For example, for a 100Ah battery,
we recommend that the current is not greater than 20A.
Q: Will TORNADO90000 stop charging automatically after the
battery is fully charged?
A: Yes. TORNADO90000 adopts 9-step smart charging. When the
battery is fully charged, it will automatically stop charging without
the risk of overcharging. If you still leave the battery connected,
then the charger will keep monitoring the battery status and will
automatically start charging when the battery voltage falls below its
target threshold.
Q: Can TORNADO90000 charge multiple batteries
simultaneously?
A: Yes. Please correctly connect these batteries in series or parallel
before charging. If you have questions about the connection, you
can consult the battery manufacturer or contact us for help.
Q: Which modes of the charger adopt the 9-step smart
charging?
A: The NORM, AGM, and COLD.

Q: Does it support charging lithium batteries?
A: No.
Q: How can I restore factory settings?
A: Press and hold the STOP/START button for 5 seconds to restore
the factory settings. Then all charging voltage and current data will
be initialized.
Q: Why can't some batteries be used normally after repair?
A: This depends on the battery. Consult the battery manufacturer
on whether the battery can be xed or should be replaced.
Q: Why can't some batteries be charged?
A: Generally, batteries with a voltage lower than 8.5V are damaged
and cannot be charged normally.
Q: Is REPAIR mode applicable to all battery types?
A: No, it can’t be used for lithium batteries. However, it is applicable
to all types of lead-acid batteries.
