3.2.1. AUTOCHARGE124 can be used to charge 12V and 24V batteries. Before connecting to the battery or to the mains supply,
check the voltage of the battery and set the voltage selection switch to the appropriate value.
3.2.2. If the battery is not a sealed unit, remove the filler caps and check the level of the electrolyte. If it is below the recommended
level, top up using distilled water.
DO NOT use tap water under any circumstances. To prevent acid splashing during the
charging proccess, replace the filler caps but do not tighten them, allowing gases to escape.

3.2.4. Connect power clamps to the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
3.2.5. Plug the charger into the mains power supply. The charge status LED should now be illuminated red and the ammeter needle over to
the right.
3.2.6. When the charge status LED turns to green the battery is fully charged and the ammeter needle should be over to the left.
3.2.7. Unplug the unit from the mains before removing the clamps from the battery.
3.2.8. Carefully wipe any spillage of acid from the battery top and replace battery caps, if removed.
3.2.9. For long term maintenance of batteries on irregularly or seasonally used vehicles the charger can be connected to a battery for an
indefinite period - the intelligent circuitry constantly monitoring the voltage and maintaining the charge level at optimum.
