Quick Charge C1600 - Manual (Page 2)

2). Press the START button.
3). Adjust the knob to match the CCA of the battery.
4). For 12 volt batteries the minimum acceptable voltage is 9.6 volts @ 70F (21C) . For 8 volt
batteries the minimum is 6.41 volts, for 6 volt batteries the minimum is 4.8 volts @ 70F (21C)
5). When the timer times out, remove clamps and connect another battery. Repeat. NOTE: As the
carbon pile heats up the resistance will change and the setting will drift, small knob
adjustments will be needed to keep the amps at the battery CCA rating.
6). The C1600 is equipped with a timer override button. Should you need to interrupt a test,
simply push the button.
Timer is factory set at 15 seconds. To adjust, use a miniature screwdriver, locate
1/4" hole in back, insert screwdriver and turn potentiometer to desired time. 5-15 seconds.
CARE & MAINTENANCE:
1). Heat is the enemy of your tester. To prolong component life; When testing large volumes of
batteries, leave tester connected to last battery for a minimum of 5 minutes to allow fans to
exhaust residual heat from cabinet. When using a setting higher than 600CCA, allow 30
second cooling off period between batteries.
2). The aluminum cabinet is susceptible to acid fume corrosion, and staining as are all surfaces,
periodically wipe the unit down with a damp cloth. Use water only. Take care to keep
electrolyte off the unit as it will cause rapid deterioration, especially the volt meter lens.
3). Keep the clamp jaws clean with a wire brush. High resistance connections can give a low volt
reading, and cause cracking and popping and intermittent connections under load.
3). Periodically remove load screw and flush with silicon lubricant spray to remove grit and
assure smooth operation.
