The charger is designed to charge 6V/12V lead-acid batteries from 1Ah to 20Ah.
However the charger can also be used to maintain batteries up to 100Ah.
Always refer to the battery manufacturers specifications and recommendations if
you’re unsure of your battery charging requirements. E.g. Such as removing or not
removing cell caps whilst charging.
Explosive gases may escape from the battery during charging so please ensure the
battery is charged in a well ventilated area.
This charger is designed for indoor use only and should never be exposed to water,
rain, snow, liquids etc.
Do not attempt to use the charger if it has been dropped or damaged.
Do not attempt to use the charger if the cables or plugs are damaged.
If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters your eye, immediately flush the eye with running cold water for at least
10 minutes and seek medical attention. Someone should always be within range of
your voice.
Never attempt to charge a damaged battery, frozen battery or non rechargeable
battery.
Never place the charger on the battery or battery on the charger.
When working with lead-acid batteries, remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces, watches and make sure you don’t short circuit the battery
terminals with any type of metal tool or piece of jewellery as this will cause an
explosion. You can wrap your spanner with insulation tape to minimise the risk of a
short circuit.
NEVER smoke, use an open flame or create sparks near a battery or charger during
charging operation as this may cause an explosion and explosive gases.
Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to a qualified and authorised person for
repair.
If using a generator, you must ensure you use a surge protector to protect the
charger from voltage spikes.
The charger must not be used or played with by infirm persons or children. Also
keep it away from any pets.

Multi Stage:
1- Bulk charging
2- Float mode
3- Maintenance
Can be left on 24/7 to ensure your battery is always maintained and fully
charged: The battery charger can be left unattended and left permanently
connected all year round. The intelligent charger will monitor the battery voltage
and will maintain it at peak performance with a special pulse charge during long
term maintenance.
Short circuit and reverse polarity protection.
Heavy-duty and corrosion-resistant output connectors.
Crocodile clips and ring terminals: It comes with a quick connect fly lead and 2
different kinds of connectors, crocodile clips and ring terminals. The ring terminals
are perfect for permanent connection to your battery. You can connect the lead to
the battery and tuck the lead away while you are using your vehicle and when you
get back to your garage simply plug the lead back into the charger.
TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
•
•
•
INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION: The charger has a built-in overheat and
an overload electronic circuit. This protects the charger from being damage if
overheated or overloaded and will automatically decrease the charging current.
Once the units internal temperature decreases to a safe level, the charger will
resume normal charging.
REVERSE POLARITY: The charger has reverse polarity protection. If the charger
output leads are connected reverse polarity, the fault LED will come on and the
charger will be disabled. Simply unplug the charger from AC power and then
connect the output leads to the correct polarity.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: The charger will automatically turn off if the output
leads are short circuited and the fault LED will come on. This prevents the charger
from being damaged if the positive and negative crocodile clips or ring terminals
accidently touch each other while the charger is turned on.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS:
www.ozcharge.com.au
STEP 1 - Pre
charge check & electrolyte level check
www.ozcharge.com.au
www.ozcharge.com.au
• Check the Battery Electrolyte levels (Not required on sealed & maintenance free
batteries).
If necessary, remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the levels are halfway
between the upper and lower fill lines.
• Check the battery voltage, type and Ah capacity to ensure the charger is compatible.
• Ensure the battery is in a well ventilated area and the charger should be as far away
from the battery as the cables permit.
STEP 2 - Connecting the battery charger to your battery
If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
Connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or ring
terminal to the positive (+) battery terminal.
Connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or ring
terminal to the negative (-) battery terminal.

STEP 3 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (240Vac)
• The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.
Note: If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it’s likely
that the Positive and Negative Leads are reversed. Refer to Trouble Shooting Page for
further information.
THE CHARGING PROCESS:
1) Qualification - Battery Condition Check
When the charger is first switched on it checks the battery condition to determine
whether the battery needs reconditioning. During this qualification process it checks
the internal impedance and initial voltage of the battery and it will determine how
much charge current, if any that the battery will accept. It’s also senses whether the
battery is still connected in the vehicle.
2) Bulk Charging - Amber Charging LED ON
Uses the maximum charge output (1A) until the battery voltage reaches 7.2V/14.4V.
3) Float Mode - Full / Float Green LED ON
This stage allows you to keep the charger connected 24/7 to ensure your battery is
well maintained and kept 100% fully charged. Float mode will maintain the battery at
a constant 6.75V/13.5V.
STEP 4 - Disconnecting the Battery charger from Battery
•
If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
(1) Switch OFF and Remove the AC Power Socket from the outlet.
(2) Remove the Black lead and then the Red lead.
•
If the battery is still in the vehicle:
(1) Switch OFF and Remove the AC Power Socket from the outlet.
(2) Remove the lead from the vehicle chassis.
(3) Remove the lead from the battery.
Note: Check electrolyte levels if possible after charging as they may need topping up with distilled
water. (This does not apply to sealed maintenance free batteries)
