WARNING : Please make sure the polarity of the battery is connected correctly!
Assembly Procedure :
1.Make sure the charger is shut off and choosing suitable wires to connect the charger and batteries based on the rating of charging
current. The polarity must be correct: charger output (+) should be connected to the (+) terminal of batteries and charger output (-)
should be connected to the (-) terminal.
In no times should the (+) and (-) be short together or the charger and batteries will be damaged.
2.Connect the AC input and check whether the operation of LED is correct.
(red : charging ; green : battery is full)
Notes On Operation:
1.The charger should be assembled in the place with good ventilation and low moisture.
Exposure to the rain or snow is strictly prohibited.
2.Wires connecting between the charger and batteries should be as short as possible since the high voltage drop on the wires will
increase the time required to fully charge the batteries.
3.Make sure the charging voltage and charging current are suitable for the batteries you are using.
4.If the batteries need to connect in series for charging, old batteries are not suggested to be used with new ones or the lifetime of
batteries may reduce because of the unbalance charging voltage distribution on new and old batteries.
5.Please turn off the charger before connecting or disconnecting the wires.
6.The charger has a 2-year worldwide warranty, however, damages from misusing the charger will not be included in the coverage of
warranty.

Status Under General Operation:
At the beginning stage of operation, the charger provides the largest current with 13.6Vdc of output voltage (for 12V batteries) to
charge batteries. The LED indicator will lighten in red. After a period of time (probably a couple of hours, based on the capacity of
batteries), the charging current will decrease gradually. After reaching 10% of its maximum value, the charger will go into "floatingcharge" stage. The LED indicator will turn to green. The relationship between charging current and charging voltage for each operation
stage are shown in the curves below :

Suggested Battery Capacity:
1.It will not have any problem if the capacity of batteries larger than the suggested value.
It just takes more time to make the batteries fully charged!
2.If you have any question about the suitable charging current for the batteries, please refer to the technical data provided by the battery
manufacturers or consult the vendor of the batteries.
