Note: another way to determine the charge level of the battery is by measuring the density of the
acid using a density meter (see table below).
density = 1.285g/ml battery fully charged
density = 1.21g/ml) battery half charged
density = 1.16g/ml) battery depleted
• When the battery is fully charged, immediately switch off the charger [6]. Overcharging will
destroy the battery.
• Disconnect the battery from the charger, starting with the clamp on the negative pole (black)
and than proceed with the clamp on the positive pole (red).
7. Fuses
The AC30 has 3 safety fuses installed.
•
Thermal fuse: this fuse cuts of the output power when the temperature of the charger is too
high. Power automatically restores when the temperature drops below an acceptable level.
• Input fuse [3]: protects the charger from power anomalies on the mains input power. To
replace, disconnect the charger from the mains and disconnect the connected battery. Unscrew
the holder [3] (counter clockwise) and replace the broken fuse by a fuse with the same
specifications (F5A/250V). Tightly screw the holder back in place.
• Output fuse [2]: protects the connected battery from over-current. To replace, disconnect the
charger from the mains and disconnect the connected battery. Simply unplug the fuse from the
socket and install a new one. Only use a fuse with the same specifications (30A).
8. Maintenance
• Always remove the plug from the mains socket and disconnect batteries when servicing or
cleaning the charger.
• Never use water or any other liquids to clean the charger.
• Keep the cables clean, but avoid using cleaners based on benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride,
ammonia … as they affect or even dissolve plastic parts.
• Check liquid level of batteries once per month and fill up when necessary.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
