  • Page 2: Preparing To Charge

    BatteryMate Save these instructions: this manual contains important safety & operating instructions WARNING Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. It is therefore of the utmost importance that each time you are preparing to use the BatteryMate you first read &...
  • Page 3 NOTE: The battery charger has an automatic safety feature that will prevent it from operating if the battery has been inversely connected and will indicate the inverse connection by illuminating the "INVERSE POLARITY" LED (light emitting diode), situated on the lower left-hand side of the LED indicator information panel. If this LED is indicating, disconnect the battery clips in reverse order to the connecting instructions above, then reconnect correctly.

  • Page 4: Mounting Bracket

    BATTERYMATE 150-9 Instructions for use: IMPORTANT: Read the whole of this text before using the BatteryMate. MOUNTING BRACKET A mounting bracket is included for fixing against a vertical surface so as to allow the BatteryMate to be positioned off the workbench. Ensure that the bracket is firmly fixed so that the surface of the long arm projects horizontally and safely supports a downward force of 10 kg applied at the projecting end.
  • Page 5 WHAT IS BATTERYMATE? BatteryMate combines in one single tool a LOAD TESTER for 12 V lead-acid batteries to accurately assess their state of charge and their underlying condition; a precisely controlled, state -of-the -art constant current CHARGER for the quickest technically achievable recharging of all 12 V lead-acid batteries regardless of type or condition;...

    4) In case of overheating, for example through heavy repetitive use of the load tester, the tester will be disabled. The action will be restored automatically after the BatteryMate has had time to cool down again. Duri ng the period of disablement this is indicated by the red LED on the control panel above the "egg-timer"...
  • Page 7 15 second test duration may be initiated by depressing the TEST button for a good three seconds, until the yellow " 15s" LED lights, then releasing it. The red LED above the load resistor symbol should light for 15s during the 15s test. 7) Immediately the red LED above the load resistor symbol indicates a test has begun, look at the LEDs on the TEST Voltmeter LED panel to the right of the TEST start button to see how many ha ve come on.
  • Page 8 14) If during a TEST following recharging the LEDs which light initially then extinguish rapidly, the battery is clearly unserviceable. If for any reason you observe overheating and perhaps even smoke coming out of the top having initiated a load test, switch off the power & disconnect the battery immediately, as this is symptomatic of a mechanically stuck relay.
  • Page 9 ABOUT SEALED “MF” (Maintenance - Free) MOTORCYCLE / PWC BATTERIES 1) Maintenance-free "MF" motor-cycle batteries, also referred to as “AGM” (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries) or as “GRT” (Gas Recombination Technolo gy) batteries, are valve - regulated and are constructed with glass-mat separators (to effectively absorb and retain the acid electrolyte).

  • Page 10: Charger Operation

    7) Properly commissioned "MF" batteries retain their charge during storage better than conventional batteries. This is especially the case with most of the recent new “WET” MF batteries. However, if left for excessive time without being re-charged, they tend to go into deep-discharge from which they are often very difficult to recover unless subjected to relatively high voltages.
  • Page 11 capacity. The selections given on the range selection table are appropriate for starter type batteries. A charge current of about half the charge current indicated for that Amp- hour capacity should be OK for sealed deep cycle or trolling batteries. 3) Depress and release the "CHARGE"...

  • Page 12: Limited Warranty

    This limited warranty is not transferable. TecMate (International) warrants this battery charger for one year from date of purchase at retail against defective material or workmanship. If such should occur the unit will be repaired or replaced at the option of the manufacturer.
