WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE CHARGER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE APPROPRIATE CHARGE MODE FOR YOUR BATTERY. WARNING: THESE “HOLD AND/OR PRESS” MODES ARE ADVANCED CHARGING MODES THAT REQUIRE YOUR FULL ATTENTION BEFORE SELECTING. USING 12V LITHIUM-ION(BMS)/4 CELL LIFEPO4 This mode is designed for 12V Lithium-ion(BMS)/ 4 Cell LiFePO4 batteries only. Some Lithium-iron batteries may be unstable and unsuitable for charging. Consult the battery manufacturer before charging and ask for the recommended charging voltage and current. Mode Battery Size (Ah) Explanation STANDBY N/A Not charging or providing any power 12V STD 50-400 Charging 12V STD battery 12V GEL 50-400 Charging 12V GEL battery 12V AGM 50-400 Charging 12V battery below 10°C (50°F) or 12V AGM battery 12V LITHIUM 50-400 Charging 12 V Lithium-ion(BMS)/4 Cell LiFePO4 battery only 24V STD 50-200 Charging 24V STD battery 24V GEL 50-200 Charging 24V GEL battery 24V AGM 50-200 Charging 24V battery below 10°C (50°F) or 24V AGM battery RECOVERY 50-400 An advanced battery recovery mode for repairing old, idle, stratified or sulfated battery 13.6V (10A) SUPPLY N/A Converting to a DC power supply for powering 12V DC devices or as a memory retainer when replacing a battery 12V BOOST 50-400 Delivering 20A fo r five (5) minutes to jump charge the battery
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com USING RECOVERY (12V ONLY) This mode is for LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is an advanced battery recovery mode for repairing old, idle, stratified or sulfated batteries. Not all batteries can be recovered. For optimal results, take the battery through a full charge cycle, bringing the battery to full charge before using this mode. One RECOVERY cycle can take up to eight (8) hours to complete the recovery process and will enter STANDBY mode when completed. This mode uses a high charging voltage and may cause some water loss in WET cell batteries. Plus, some batteries and electronics may be sensitive to high charging voltage. To minimise risks, disconnect the battery from the vehicle before using this mode. USING 13.6V SUPPLY This mode converts the charger to a constant voltage, constant current DC power supply. It can be used to power 12V DC devices. Prior to use, read your 12V DC device manual to determine if it is suitable for use with is mode. As a power supply, it can also be used to retain a vehicles on-board computer settings during a battery repair or replacement. 13.6V supply mode provides 13.6V at 10A (Max). Both spark proof and reverse polarity protection modes are disabled in this mode. DO NOT allow the positive and negative battery clamps to touch or connect to each other as the charger could generate sparks. USING 12V BOOST BOOST mode is an advanced mode that requires your full attention before selecting. To operate BOOST, the charger must be connected to a 12V lead- acid battery with the battery clamps connected. For optimal results, allow BOOST to complete its five (5) minute charge. After the 5 minute boost, the LCD display will show “COOLING”, and you are ready to start your vehicle (whether the battery charged indicator is lit or not). After each boost, the charger has a mandatory five (5) minute cool down for safety reasons (even if you press the BOOST button again, the charger will not work). After cooling, the charger will enter STANDBY mode. If unsuccessful when starting your vehicle, let the battery rest for 15 minutes and try the BOOST again. Most vehicles will start with one (1) boost. DO NOT use the BOOST mode more that two (2) times within a 24 hour period. If two (2) boosts cannot successfully start your vehicle, have your battery replaced or evaluated by a local battery retailer. CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY 1. Identify the polarity of the battery term inals. The positive battery terminal is typically red and/or marked by the letters or symbols: POS, P, +. The negative battery terminal is typically black or blue and/or marked by the letters or symbols: NEG, N, -. 2. DO NOT make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines or thin metal parts.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 3. Identify if you have a ne gative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by identifying which battery terminal (NEG or POS) is connected to the chassis. If unsure, consult the vehicle handbook. 4. For a negative grounded vehicl e (most common): connect the RED POSITIVE clamp first to the positive battery terminal, then connect the BLACK NEGATIVE clamp to the negative battery terminal or vehicle chassis. 5. For a positive grounded vehicle: connect the BLACK NEGATIVE clamp first to the negative battery terminal, then connect the RED POSITIVE clamp to the positive battery terminal or vehicle chassis. 6. Run the required charging mode. FINISHING CHARGING THE BATTERY 1. Disconnect the charger fr om the mains power supply. 2. Disconnect the black chargi ng cable from the bodywork. 3. Disconnect the red charging cable fr om the positive pole of the battery. NOTE: IMPORTANT , In case of positive earthing, first disconnect the red charging cable from the bodywork and then the black charging cable from the battery. 4. Screw or push the battery stoppers ba ck into position (if there are any). NOTE: If the mains power supply is disconnected but the charger cables are still connected to the battery, the charger will draw off a small amount of electricity from the battery. We therefore recommend that you always completely remove the charger from the battery when not in use. 5. Wind up the leads when finished, usin g the clamp tidies on the side of the charger.
