1 General Description
1.1 The highest efficiency ever!
Setting a new industry standard: with up to 95% efficiency these
chargers waste three to four times less heat.
And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption
reduces to less than a Watt, some five to ten times better than the
industry standard.
1.2 Adaptive charge algorithm: charge/test – bulk –
absorption – recondition – float – storage
The Blue Power charger features a microprocessor controlled
‘adaptive’ battery management. The ‘adaptive’ feature will
automatically optimise the charging process relative to the way
the battery is being used.
1. Charge/test
Tests if the battery can accept charge
2. Bulk
Charges the battery with maximum current until
absorption voltage is reached (battery 80% charged)
3. Absorption
Charges the battery at constant voltage and with
decreasing current until it is fully charged
4. Recondition
Optional reconditioning for deeply discharged an
sulfated batteries: charges the battery at increased
voltage with reduced current.
5. Float
Keeps the battery at constant voltage and fully
charged
6. Storage
Keeps the battery at reduced constant voltage to
reduce gassing and corrosion of the positive plates.
Refreshes the battery every week.
The charger will start a new charge cycle during step
5 or 6 if, due to a load, it switches to maximum current
mode during more than 4 seconds.

1.3 Also charges Li-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries: see table
LiFePO₄batteries are charged with a simple bulk – absorption –
float algorithm.
1.4 Internal temperature sensor
Measures ambient temperature during the charge/test phase and
compensates for temperature during absorption. Measures
temperature again when in low current mode during float or
storage.
1.5 Totally silent
No fan.
1.6 Protected against overheating
Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60°C,
but the charger will not fail.
1.7 Reverse polarity protected
No sparks, short circuit proof and reverse polarity protected.
The charger will start charging even when the battery has
been discharged to zero volt.
2 Safety instructions
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• Never place the charger on top of the battery when charging.
• Always provide for proper ventilation during charging.
• Avoid covering the charger.
• A battery being charged could emit explosive gasses. Prevent
sparks close to the battery
• Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse immediately with water if acid
comes into contact with skin.
• If the charger has not switched to float or storage within 30
hours, this is an indication of an error. Manually disconnect the
charger.
• Batteries consume water during use and charging. For flooded
batteries where water can be added, the water level should be

3
EN NL FR DE ES SE Appendix
checked regularly. If the water level is low add distilled or
demineralised water.
• This appliance is not designed for use by young children or
people who cannot read or understand the manual unless they
are under the supervision of a responsible person to ensure that
they can use the battery charger safely. Store and use the battery
charger out of the reach of children, and ensure that children
cannot play with the charger.
• Connection to the mains supply must be in accordance with the
national regulations for electrical installations.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similary qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
• Never try to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
3. Charging
1. Connect the charger to the battery.
2. Connect the charger to the wall socket. The CHARGE LED will
indicate that the mains cable is connected to the wall socket.
The charge status LED’s will blink in case of reverse polarity
connection, short-circuit or if a 12 V charger is connected to a
24 V battery.
3. Press the MODE-button to select a charging program.
The charger will remember the mode setting and start in the
same mode the next time it is used.
4. The battery is fully charged when the READY LED is on,
simultaneously with the FLOAT or STORAGE LED.
5. Stop charging at any time by disconnecting the mains cable
from the wall socket.

MODE ABS
V FLOAT V STORAGE V RECONDITION Max V@% of Inom
NORMAL 14,4 13,8 13,2 16,2@8%, max 1h
HIGH 14,6 13,8 13,2 16,5@8%, max 1h
LI-ION 14,2 13,35 13,35 n. a.
Notes:
a. For 24 V chargers: multiply all values by 2.
b.The absorbtion duration depends on how deep the battery was
discharged. Maximum duration: 8 hours.
c. RECONDITION is applicable to the NORMAL and HIGH
settings only.
d. During RECONDITION the max current is equal to the stated
% of the nominal current until the max voltage is reached.
Example for a 12/15 charger: the recondition current is
15 x 0,08 = 1,2 A.
The recondition LED will blink during recondition mode.
4. Technical specifications
Notes:
a. Temperature compensation: - 2 mV/°C per cell (lead acid only).
(Measures ambient temperature during the charge/test phase and
compensates for temperature during absorption. Measures
temperature again when in low current mode during float or
storage)
b. The charger will start a new charge cycle during step 5 or 6 if,
due to a load, it switches to maximum current mode during more
than 4 seconds.
A new charge cycle can also be initiated by pressing the mode
button.

1 Algemene beschrijving
1.1 Efficiënter dan ooit!
Een nieuwe industrienorm: met een efficiëntie van tot 95%
verspillen deze laders drie tot vier keer minder warmte.
Bovendien daalt het stroomverbruik wanneer de accu volledig is
geladen tot minder dan één Watt, ongeveer vijf tot tien keer beter
dan de industrienorm.
1.2 Adaptief laadalgoritme: laden/testen – bulk – absorbtie –
herconditionering – float – opslag
De Blue Power lader is voorzien van een door een
microprocessor gestuurd adaptief accubeheer. De adaptieve
functie optimaliseert automatische het laadproces afhankelijk van
hoe de accu wordt gebruikt.
1. Laden/testen
Test of de accu lading kan ontvangen.
2. Bulk
Laad de accu met maximale stroomsterkte totdat de
absorptiespanning wordt bereikt (accu 80% geladen).
3. Absorptie
Laad de accu met constante spanning en met
afnemende stroomsterkte totdat deze volledig
geladen is.
4. Herconditionering
Optionele herconditionering van diep ontladen en
gesulfateerde accu's: laad de accu met verhoogde
spanning en verlaagde stroomsterkte.
5. Float
Houd de accu op een constante spanning en volledig
geladen
6. Opslag
Houd de accu op een lagere constante spanning om
gasvorming en corrosie van de positieve platen te
voorkomen. Ververst de accu om de week.
De accu begint na stap 5 of 6 aan een nieuwe
laadcyclus als deze na een belasting gedurende meer

2
dan 4 seconden overschakelt naar de maximale
stroomsterktemodus.
1.3 Laadt ook Li-ion (LiFePO₄) accu's: Zie tabel
LiFePO₄accu's worden geladen volgens een eenvoudig bulk –
absorptien – float algoritme.
1.4 Interne temperatuursensor
Meet de omgevingstemperatuur tijdens de laad/testfase en
compenseert tijdens de absorptiefase voor de temperatuur. Meet
de temperatuur opnieuw in de lage stroomsterktemodus tijdens
float of opslag.
1.5 Volledig stil
Geen ventilator.
1.6 Beschermd tegen oververhitting
De uitgangsstroom neemt af als de temperatuur tot 60 ºC stijgt,
maar de lader valt niet uit.
1.7 Beschermd tegen omgekeerde polariteit
Geen vonken, kortsluitbestendig en beschermd tegen
omgekeerde polariteit.
De lader begint zelfs met laden wanneer de accu ontladen is
tot nul volt.
2 Veiligheidsvoorschriften
• Laad nooit een bevroren accu.
• Plaats de lader nooit tijdens het laden op de accu.
• Zorg altijd voor voldoende ventilatie tijdens het laden.
• Dek de lader niet af.
• Een accu die wordt geladen, kan explosieve gassen afgeven.
Voorkom vonken in de buurt van de accu.
• Accuzuur is corrosief. Spoel de huid onmiddelijk af met water
als er accuzuur op komt.
• Als de lader niet binnen 30 uur overschakelt naar float of opslag,
duidt dit op een storing. Ontkoppel de lader handmatig.
