Q
Product features
This appliance has been designed for charging a
variety of SlA batteries (sealed lead acid batteries),
as mainly used in cars, motorbikes and several other
vehicles. They may be of types e.g. WET (with liquid
electrolyte), GEl (with mit gel-type electolyte) or AGM
(absorbed glass mat) batteries. A special design of
the appliance (also named „three-phase-charging
strategy“) enables the recharging of the batttery to
almost 100 % of its original capacity. Connecting
the battery for a long period to the battery charger
is also a good way of ensuring that your battery is
kept in optimum condition.
Q Operation
Before you carry out any work
on the battery charger always pull the mains
plug out of the mains socket.
