IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Please read this manual thoroughly before use and store in a safe place for future reference. WARNING • Explosive gases may escape from the battery during charging. Prevent flames and sparks. Provide adequate ventilation. • Before charging, read the instructions. •...
7-stage charging is a very comprehensive and accurate charging technique that gives your battery longer life and better performance compared to using traditional chargers. Projecta’s Intelli-Charge chargers can be adjusted to suit a number of different battery types including GEL, AGM, WET and Calcium. The chargers can also help restore drained and sulphated batteries.
WIRING HARNESS (IC700 ONLY) The wiring harness allows for easy connection to vehicles that have hard to reach batteries. Includes an inline fuse to protect the harness from accidental short circuits.
CHARGE STATUS INDICATOR The CHARGING and FULLY CHARGED LEDs will illuminate and flash in various patterns to indicate the different stages of charging. See below for flash patterns.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 – CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL Prior to charging the battery, remove the vent caps and check the electrolyte level (not required on sealed & maintenance free batteries). The electrolyte should be 6mm (1/4”) above the battery’s plates. If low, top up with distilled water to the correct level and refit the vent caps.
Connection in vehicle (positively earthed) STEP 2C – CONNECTION IN VEHICLE WITH HARNESS (IC700 ONLY) Connect the RED ring terminal of the harness to the Positive (+) battery terminal. Connect the BLACK ring terminal of the harness to the Negative (-) battery terminal.

Remove the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the battery. Remove the RED lead (battery clip) from battery. Battery in vehicle Remove the chassis connection. Remove the battery terminal connection. Battery in vehicle using harness (IC700 only) Unplug the harness from the charger’s output lead.
You will need 2 x ring terminals, an inline fuse holder and a fuse with a rating equal to or greater than twice the chargers output. (See below) IC700 = use supplied wiring harness (15 Amp fuse) IC700W = 15 Amp fuse...
7. Fit the correctly rated fuse. Inline fuse Ring terminal FOR LEAD ACID CELL BATTERIES If the charger is used in a Permanent/Hard Wired application and the vehicle will not be used for some time, it is best to leave the charger connected to mains power (turned ‘On’) so that it can maintain the battery fully charged.
CALCIUM (BULK AND ABSORPTION 14.7 VOLTS, EQUALISATION AND RECONDITION UP TO 16 VOLTS) This charge mode is best suited for Calcium batteries that have been deeply discharged and require an equalization charge to restore a full electrolyte reading. If the battery requires a simple ‘top-up’, the WET charge mode can be used.
This can occur if a small amount of power is used for a long time, for example a map reading light is left on for a week or more. Projecta 7 Stage chargers are designed to charge from as little as 2.5 Volts.

Q. What happens if my battery charger is in Desulphation mode or Soft Start mode, but I want to start bulk charging? A. Desulphation mode is time limited to 6 hours and Soft Start is limited to 1 hour. If you can not wait for the battery charger to move through these stages you can select Power Supply mode to charge the battery.
