Safety / Operation
Q  Product features
This appliance has been designed for charging a
variety of SLA batteries (sealed lead acid batteries),
as mainly used in cars, motorbikes and several other
vehicles. They may be of types e.g. WET (with liquid
electrolyte), GEL (with mit gel-type electolyte) or AGM
(absorbed glass mat) batteries. Their capacity ranges
from 12 V / 1.2 Ah to 12 V / 120 Ah.
A special design of the appliance (also named
„three-phase-charging strategy“) enables the recharg-
ing of the batttery to almost 100 % of its original
capacity. Furthermore, a long-term connection of the
battery to the charging station can take place to
keep the battery in optimal condition when not in
use, without it being damaged in the process.

Q  Select charging mode
For charging various batteries at different ambient
temperatures you can choose between three different
charging modes. Select the most efficient and suita-
ble charging mode for charging the battery.
In comparison with conventional battery charging
stations, this appliance has a special function for
reusing an empty battery or rechargeable battery.
You can recharge an empty battery / rechargeable
battery. Safe charging is ensured by means of a
protection function against incorrect connection and
short circuiting. Due to the installed electronics, the
charging station does not begin operation directly
after connecting the battery, but only starts after a
charging mode has been selected.
