OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

10.

Before using review all safety and connection directions before using charger. Failure to do so can damage battery and cause serious injury or death.

10.1 Charging:

•

Connect the charger to the battery per instructions in sections 6 or 7; depending on your battery set-up.

•

Connect the charger to AC outlet.

•

Choose battery voltage type by pressing the SELECT button.

•

If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, the "Error LED" will light until a battery is detected. Charging will not begin

while the Error LED is on. When the charging begins, the "Charging LED" will light up.

•

When charging is complete, the "Charged LED" will light up. Unplug the charger ﬁ rst from the AC outlet.

•

Remove the negative connection ﬁ rst, then the positive connection.

10.2 Automatic Charge Mode:

Stage One -

Diagnosis: The charger's smart technology will perform a series of steps to analyze the battery's charge state and determine

which stage the battery charger needs to begin with. It will also determine if the battery is good or hooked up improperly.

Stage Two -

Pre-charge: If the battery voltage is less than 12V or 24V (depending on battery voltage), the charger will start with a small

amount of current ﬁ rst to begin the charging process.

Stage Three - Soft start: Charging to the maximum current in reasonable time, not suddenly to the maximum current.

Stage Four -

CC1, CC2, CC3 (Constant Current): Fast Speed Charging. Adjusts the current output of the charger according to the battery's

state in constant current.

Stage Five -

For 12 volt batteries, the CV (Constant Voltage) Absorption to voltage is 14.6V. The charger will automatically shut off when

the battery reaches 14.6V. For 24 volt batteries, the CV (Constant Voltage) Absorption to voltage is 28.8V. Once the battery

reaches 28.8V in 24V mode, the charger will shut off.

Stage Six -

Resting: Cut off with full charge: high energy efﬁ ciency.

Stage Seven - Restoring: Automatic On-Off Monitoring. The charger DC output will shut off and monitor a fully charged battery. If the battery

falls below 12.8VDC on a 12V battery, or 25.6V on a 24V battery, the charger will restart and enter Stage One.

10.3 Digital Display Meter:

The 20068 is equipped with a digital meter that is capable of displaying the battery's voltage, amperage or the battery's charge level as a

percentage. Press the "DISPLAY" button to select one of the three modes. There are three LEDS above the digital meter that will light up when

the speciﬁ c mode is selected.

Follow all safety instructions and precautions for charging your battery. Wear complete eye protection and clothing

protection. Charge your battery in a well-ventilated area.

NOTE: During extremely cold weather, charge the battery for 5 minutes before cranking the engine. If the engine fails to start, charge the battery for

5 more minutes before attempting to crank the engine again. After the engine starts unplug the AC power cord before disconnecting the battery clips

from the vehicle.

CALCULATING CHARGE TIME

11.

•

Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to bring a battery to full charge. First, identify where your battery ﬁ ts into

the chart.

•

The times given are for batteries with a 50% charge prior to recharging. Add more time for severely discharged batteries.

3.8

Add distilled water to each cell of the battery to be charged until the battery acid reaches the level speciﬁ ed by the battery manufacturer. Do

not overﬁ ll. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA), carefully follow the manufacturer's

recharging instructions.

3.9

Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and charger. Study all of

the battery manufacturer's speciﬁ c precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.

3.10 Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner's manual and make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set to

the correct voltage.

3.11 Make sure that the charger's alligator clips or ring terminals are secured.

4.1

Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit.

4.2

Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged: gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.

4.3

Do not set the battery on top of the charger.

4.4

Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electrolyte speciﬁ c gravity or ﬁ lling the battery.

4.5

Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the ventilation in any way.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

5.1

Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after removing the AC plug from the electrical outlet. Never allow the clips to touch each other.

5.2

Attach the ring terminals or the alligator clips to the battery. It is recommended to twist or rock the alligator clips back and forth several times

to make a good connection. This tends to keep the alligator clips from slipping off the battery terminals and helps reduce risk of sparking.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE

6.1

Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door, moving or hot engine parts.

NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the charging process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of the battery clips or

cut the insulation of the cables.

6.2

Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.

6.3

Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)

post.

6.4

Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE

(BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal

body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.

6.5

When disconnecting the charger, disconnect the AC cord from the wall. Next remove the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) from the chassis ground ﬁ rst,

then remove the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) clip from the battery terminal. If using the ring terminal assemble as a ﬁ xed connection, just disconnect

the bullet connector on the main cord. MAKE SURE THE END OF THE BULLET CONNECTOR DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY METAL

OBJECTS.

6.6

See CALCULATING CHARGE TIME for length of charge information in section 11.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE.
