Introduction
 For car and motorcycle batteries with
12V/6V and 8-250 Ah capacity
You can also regenerate discharged batteries
(depending on the battery type). The car
battery charger has a safety circuit against
sparking and overheating. Keep these instruc-
tions in a safe place. Ensure you hand over
all documentation when passing the product
on to anyone else. Any use that differs to the
intended use as stated above is prohibited
and potentially dangerous. Damage or injury
caused by misuse or disregarding the above
warning is not covered by the warranty or
any liability on the part of the manufacturer.
The device is not intended for commercial
use. Commercial use will void the guarantee.
Note: The car battery charger cannot
charge any electrical vehicles with integrated
rechargeable battery.
Note: No jumpstart of 6-V batteries possible.

zTechnical specifications
Input voltage: 230 V~ 50 Hz
return current*: < 5 mA
(no AC input)
Nominal output voltage: 6 V/12 V
Charge current: 2 A, 6 A,
17 A ± 10%
Battery type with: 12 V/6 V and
8-250 Ah capacity
Housing protection type: IP 20
* = Return current means the current that
the car battery charger consumes from
the battery when no mains current is
connected.
Changes to technical and visual aspects of
the product may be made as part of future
developments without notice. According-
ly, no warranty is offered for the physical
dimensions, information and specifications
in these operating instructions. The operating
instructions cannot therefore be used as the
basis for asserting a legal claim.
Note: The maximum load current essentially
depends on the internal resistance of the
connected battery. This internal resistance is
determined by the following factors: ages,
capacity and type of connected battery.
zPackage contents
Check the scope of delivery and the
device as well as all parts for
damage right after unpacking. Do
not put a defective unit or defective
parts into operation.

Safety instructions
zSafety instructions
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHIL-
DREN!
 DANGER! Avoid danger to
life and danger of injury from
improper use!
 CAUTION! Do not operate
the device with a damaged
cable, mains cable or mains
plug. Damaged mains cables
pose danger to life from elec-
tric shock.
 In case of damage, the mains
cable must only be repaired
by authorized and trained
specialists! Contact the service
point of your country if you
need any repair!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Ensure that the
vehicle is not in operation if
the battery is installed firmly in
the vehicle! Switch off the
ignition and put the vehicle
into the parking position, with
the parking brake engaged
(e.g. car) or the rope attached
(e.g. electric boat)!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Disconnect the
car battery charger from the
mains before removing the
connection terminals.
 Connect the connection termi-
nal that is not connected to the
car body first.
 Connect the other connection
terminal to the car body away
from the battery and the gaso-
line line.
 Connect the car battery charg-
er to the supply grid only
thereafter.
 Disconnect the car battery
charger from the supply grid
after charging.
 Only then disconnect the con-
nection terminal from the car
body. Then disconnect the
connection terminal from the
battery.
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Only touch the
pole connection cables ("–"
and "+") in the insulated area!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Conduct the
connection to the battery and
the socket of the mains grid
completely protected from
moisture!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Perform instal-
lation, servicing and mainte-
nance of the car battery charg-
er only when the mains current
is not connected!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! First disconnect
the minus pole connection
cable (black) of the car battery

Safety instructions
charger from the minus pole of
the battery upon completing
the charging and maintenance
charging process if the battery
is continually connected in the
vehicle.
 Do not leave any toddlers or
children unsupervised around
the car battery charger!
 Children cannot assess possi-
ble dangers in use of electrical
devices. Children must be su-
pervised to ensure that they do
not play with the device.
 This device may be used by
children aged 8 years and
older, and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capacities, or a lack of
experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised or have
been instructed in how to use
the device safely and under-
stand the dangers that may
arise when using it. Do not
allow children to play with the
device. Cleaning and day-to-
day maintenance must not be
performed by children without
supervision.
 EXPLOSION HAZ-
ARD! Protect yourself
from highly explosive oxyhy-
drogen reactions! Gaseous
hydrogen can escape during
charging or maintenance
charging of the battery. Oxy-
hydrogen is a potentially
explosive mixture of gaseous
hydrogen and oxygen. The
oxyhydrogen reaction occurs
at contact with open fire
(flames, smouldering or
sparks)! Perform charging and
maintenance charging in a
weather-protected space that is
ventilated well. Ensure that
there are no open light
(flames, embers or sparks)
during charging or mainte-
nance charging!
 EXPLOSION AND FIRE
HAZARDS! Ensure that ex-
plosive or flammable substanc-
es, such as gasoline or sol-
vents cannot be ignited when
you are using the car battery
charger!
 EXPLOSIVE GASES! Avoid
flames and sparks!
 Ensure sufficient ventilation
when charging.
 Put the battery onto a well-ven-
tilated surface when charging.
Otherwise, the device can be
damaged.
 EXPLOSION HAZ-
ARD! Ensure that the
plus-pole connection cable has
no contact with a fuel line (e.g.
petrol line)!

 DANGER OF CAUSTIC
BURNS!
Protect your eyes and skin
from caustic burns from the
acid (sulphuric acid) when it
comes into contact with the
battery!
 Use: acid-resistant safety gog-
gles, clothing and gloves! If
your eyes or skin have come
into contract with the sulphuric
acid, flush the affected body
region with plenty of clear,
running water and seek medi-
cal advice at once!
 Avoid electrical short circuits
when connecting the car bat-
tery charger to the battery.
Only connect the minus pole
connection cable to the minus
pole of the battery or the car
body. Only connect the plus
pole connection cable to the
plus pole of the battery!
 Prior to connecting the mains
current, ensure that the mains
current is properly equipped
with 230 V~ 50 Hz, an
earthed zero conductor, a
16A fuse and an FI-switch
(fault-circuit interrupter)! Other-
wise, the device can be dam-
aged.
 Do not use the car battery
charger near any fires, heat
and long-term temperatures
above 50 °C! For higher tem-
peratures, the output power
of the car battery charger will
drop automatically.
 Only use the car battery
charger with the original parts
it was delivered with!
 Do not cover the car battery
charger with any objects!
Otherwise, the device can be
damaged.
 Protect the electrical contact
surfaces of the battery from
short circuit!
 Only use the car battery charg-
er for the charging and main-
tenance charging of undam-
aged 6 V-/12 V-lead batteries
(with electrolyte solution or
gel)! Otherwise, property dam-
age may be the consequence.
 Do not use the car battery
charger for the charging and
maintenance charging of
non-rechargeable batteries.
Otherwise, property damage
may be the consequence.
 Do not use the car battery
charger for the charging and
maintenance charging of dam-
aged or frozen batteries! Oth-
erwise, property damage may
be the consequence.
 Please refer to the original op-
erating instructions about the
maintenance of your battery
