to set the battery type to be charged. You
can choose between different battery types.
The battery type must be correctly set before
starting the charging process:
12 V - regular: These batteries (lead-acid
„ „
batteries) are usually used in cars, trucks
and motorcycles. They have venting caps
and are often marked as "low-mainte-
nance" or "no maintenance". This battery
type is meant for transferring energy
quickly (e.g. starting an engine). "Reg-
ular" batteries should not be used for
"Deep - Cycle" applications.
12 V Deep Cycle: These batteries are
„ „
usually also marked as "Deep - Cycle"
or "Marine". Batteries of this type are
usually larger than other battery types.
This supplies less short-term energy, but
a longer-term energy transmission. These
batteries can withstand a large number of
discharge cycles.
12 V - AGM/gel: The AGM battery types
„ „
are usually good deep - cycle batteries.
They have the best "service life" when
they are recharged before they have been
discharged by more than 50 %. At com-
plete discharge they can withstand about
300 charge cycles. The battery type GEL
is similar to the battery type AGM. The
voltage during recharging is lower than
in other lead-acid batteries. If you use the
wrong car battery charger for a gel bat-
tery, a reduced output or shorter service
life can be expected.
6 V - regular: Choose this mode for com-
„ „
mercial rechargeable 6-V batteries.
Note: If you connect a 12 V car battery to
a car battery charger and the car battery
charger automatically detects it as a 6 V
battery, it can be assumed that this 12 V car
battery is faulty and needs to be replaced.

start the charging process:
Fast Charge: fast charging
„ „
Normal charge: normal charging (nor-
„ „
mal speed)
Start: briefly supplies 75 Ampere to
„ „
bridge batteries with a weak charge or
flat 12 V batteries for the purpose of start-
ing the engine
Note: In the Fast Charge and Normal
Charge mode the charger automatically
switches to maintenance charging after a
successful charging process (the "Charged"
LED lights up in green in the digital display
6
), provided the car battery charger remains
connect to the battery and mains current.
Attention: Mode can only be terminated by
pulling the mains plug
pressing the charge start button
pressing until no mode is displayed).
Note: If the "Charged" LED in the digital
6
display lights up in green, the battery
is sufficiently charged and a repeated fast
or normal charging process is no longer
permitted.
z Using the jump-start func-
tion
Always make all connections
as described and in the proper order. Other-
wise, the electronic system of the vehicle can
be damaged.
If proceeding contrary to the specifications
described, you will act at your own risks and
responsibility.
Attention: This function is not suitable for
batteries below 45 Ah. For batteries below
45 Ah, this function may damage the battery.
For diesel vehicles and large-volume gasoline
motors, higher currents than 75 A are needed
for starting at times.
