AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an Automatic Charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain
mode automatically after the battery is charged.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the Charged/Maintaining (green) LED.
When lit, the charger has switched to the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE (FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the Charged/Maintaining (green) LED is lit, the charger has started
maintain mode. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by
delivering a small current when necessary. If the charger has to provide its
maximum maintain current for a continuous 12 hour period, it will go into abort
mode (see Aborted Charge section). This is usually caused by a drain on the
battery or the battery could be bad. Make sure there are no loads on the battery. If
there are, remove them. If there are none, have the battery checked or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
This unit maintains both 6 and 12 volt batteries, keeping them at full charge. It is
not recommended for industrial applications.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology allows you to safely charge and maintain a
healthy battery for extended periods of time. However, problems with the battery,
electrical problems in the vehicle, improper connections or other unanticipated
conditions could cause excessive current draws. As such, occasionally monitoring
your battery and the charging process is recommended.
• 12 •
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging
aborts, the charger’s output is shut off and the Clamps Reversed/Bad Battery
(red) LED will light. Do not continue attempting to charge this battery. Check the
battery and replace, if necessary.
DESULFATION MODE
If the battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, it could become
sulfated and not accept a normal charge. If the charger detects a sulfated
battery, the charger will switch to a special mode of operation designed for such
batteries. If successful, normal charging will resume after the battery is desulfated.
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging will abort and the
Clamps Reversed/Bad Battery (red) LED will light.
13. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are nished charging. Wipe off any battery uid that
may have come in contact with the clamps, to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the nish
shiny and help prevent corrosion.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will help
prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC power outlet, in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not store the clamps on the handle, clipped
together, on or around metal, or clipped to the cables.

cualquier equipo que intente utilizar en la proximidad de la batería. Revise las
pautas de precaución en estos productos y en el motor.
2. PRECAUCIONES DE SEGURIDAD PERSONAL
2.1 Considere la idea de que alguna persona se encuentre cerca suyo para poder
ayudarlo cuando trabaje en forma cercana a una batería de plomo-ácido.
2.2 Cuente con una gran cantidad de agua potable y jabón a mano en caso de que el
ácido de la batería tenga contacto con su piel, ropa u ojos.
2.3 Utilice protección visual y corporal completa, incluyendo gafas de seguridad y prendas
de protección. Evite tocar sus ojos mientras trabaje en forma cercana a la batería.
2.4 Si el ácido de la batería tiene contacto con su piel o su ropa, lave de inmediato el
área afectada con agua y jabón. En caso de que ingrese ácido en un ojo, sumerja
el mismo de inmediato bajo agua potable corriente por al menos 10 minutos y
obtenga atención médica en forma inmediata.
2.5 NUNCA fume o permita la presencia de chispas o llamas en la proximidad de una
batería o motor.
2.6 Tenga especial cuidado para reducir el riesgo de dejar caer una herramienta de metal
sobre la batería. Esto podría provocar chispas o un cortocircuito en la batería o en
cualquier otra pieza eléctrica que podría provocar una explosión.
2.7 No utilice elementos personales de metal tales como anillos, pulseras, collares y
relojes al trabajar con una batería de plomo-ácido. Una batería de plomo-ácido
puede producir una corriente de cortocircuito lo sucientemente elevada como
para soldar un anillo o provocar efectos similares sobre el metal, causando una
quemadura de gravedad.
2.8 Utilice el cargador de la batería, en baterías recargables de 6 y 12V de PLOMO-
ÁCIDO (estándar, AGM o ciclo-profundo), con recomienda usar capacidad de la
batería de 12Ah (6V) y 7-33Ah (12V). Este cargador no está destinado a suministrar
energía a sistemas eléctricos de baja tensión más que en una aplicación de un
motor de arranque. No utilice este cargador de batería para cargar baterías de
pila seca que por lo general se utilizan con artefactos domésticos. Estas baterías
podrían explotar y provocar lesiones a personas o daño a la propiedad.
2.9 NUNCA cargue una batería congelada.
2.10 ADVERTENCIA: Este producto contiene una o más sustancias químicas
conocidas en el Estado de California como causantes de cáncer y defectos de
nacimiento u otros daños reproductivos.

3. PREPARACIÓN PARA LA CARGA
3.1 Si resulta necesario extraer la batería del vehículo para cargarla, siempre retire el
terminal con descarga a tierra en primer lugar. Asegúrese de que todos los accesorios
en el vehículo se encuentren apagados para evitar la formación de arcos eléctricos.
3.2 Asegúrese de que el área que rodea a la batería se encuentre bien ventilada
mientras se carga la batería.
3.3 Limpie los terminales de la batería antes de cargar la batería. Durante la limpieza, evite
que la corrosión producida por aire tenga contacto con sus ojos.
3.4 Agregue agua destilada a cada pila hasta que el ácido de la batería alcance el
nivel especicado por el fabricante de la batería. No provoque derrames. En lo
que concierne a baterías que no cuentan con tapas extraíbles para pilas, tales
como baterías de plomo-ácido reguladas por válvulas (VRLA, por sus siglas en
inglés), siga cuidadosamente las instrucciones de recarga del fabricante.
3.5 Lea, comprenda y siga todas las instrucciones para el cargador, la batería, el
vehículo y cualquier equipo que se utilice cerca de la batería y el cargador.
Controle todas las precauciones especícas establecidas por el fabricante de la
batería al realizar la carga, así también como los índices de carga recomendados.
3.6 Determine la tensión de la batería al consultar el manual del usuario del vehículo y
asegúrese de que el interruptor de selección de la tensión de salida se encuentre
establecido en la tensión correcta (en su caso). Si el cargador posee un índice de
carga ajustable, cargue la batería en el menor índice en primer lugar.
4. UBICACIÓN DEL CARGADOR
4.1 Ubique el cargador a la mayor distancia posible de la batería como lo permitan los
cables de CC.
4.2 Nunca ubique el cargador directamente por encima de la batería que se carga; los
gases de la batería corroerán y dañarán el cargador.
4.3 Nunca permita que el ácido de la batería gotee sobre el cargador al leer el peso
especíco del electrolito o al cargar la batería.
4.4 No utilice el cargador en un área cerrada o restrinja la ventilación en cualquier forma.
4.5 No ubique la batería encima del cargador.
5. PRECAUCIONES DE CONEXIÓN EN CC
5.1 Conecte y desconecte las pinzas de salida CC. sólo después de haber establecido
todos los interruptores del cargador a la posición de “apagado”
(si es aplicable) y de haber desconectado el enchufe de C.A. del tomacorriente
eléctrico. Nunca permita que las pinzas tengan contacto entre sí.
5.2 Sujete las pinzas a la batería y al chasis, como se indica en en las secciones 6 y 7.

6. SIGA ESTOS PASOS CUANDO LA BATERÍA ESTÉ COLOCADA EN EL VEHÍCULO
ADVERTENCIA: UNA CHISPA PROVOCADA CERCA DE LA BATERÍA PUEDE
CAUSAR LA EXPLOSIÓN DE LA BATERÍA. PARA REDUCIR EL RIESGO DE
PROVOCAR CHISPAS CERCA DE LA BATERÍA:
6.1 Ubique los cables de CA y CC adecuadamente para reducir el riesgo de daños
por la cubierta, la puerta y las piezas móviles o calientes del motor.
6.2 Manténgase alejado de las paletas del ventilador, correas, poleas y otras piezas
que podrían provocar lesiones.
6.3 Verique la polaridad de los bornes de la batería. El borne POSITIVO (POS, P, +) de
la batería generalmente posee un diámetro mayor al borne NEGATIVO (NEG, N, -).
6.4 Determine qué borne de la batería hace descarga a tierra (se encuentra
conectado) con el chasis. Si el borne negativo hace descarga a tierra con el
chasis (como en la mayor parte de los vehículos), ver el paso (6.5). Si el borne
positivo hace descarga a tierra con el chasis, ver el paso (6.6).
6.5 En un vehículo con descarga a tierra por borne negativo, conecte el gancho
POSITIVO (ROJO) del cargador de batería al borne POSITIVO (POS, P, +) sin
descarga a tierra de la batería. Conecte el gancho NEGATIVO (NEGRO) al
chasis del vehículo o al bloque motor alejado de la batería. No conecte el gancho
al carburador, líneas de combustible o cuerpos metálicos. Conecte a una pieza
metálica de calibre grueso del marco o del bloque motor.
6.6 En un vehículo con descarga a tierra por borne positivo, conecte el gancho
NEGATIVO (NEGRO) del cargador de batería al borne NEGATIVO (NEG, N, -) sin
descarga a tierra de la batería. Conecte el gancho POSITIVO (ROJO) al chasis
del vehículo o al bloque motor alejado de la batería. No conecte al carburador,
líneas de combustible o cuerpos metálicos. Conecte a una pieza metálica de
calibre grueso del marco o del bloque motor.
6.7 Al desconectar el cargador, apague todos los interruptores (en su caso), desconecte
el cable de C.A., retire el gancho del chasis del vehículo y luego retire el gancho del
terminal perteneciente a la batería.
6.8 Vea Instrucciones de Operación para duración de la carga.
