do not have to be tested or charged. Jump starting must
not be used! |
| There is a risk of explosion during testing,
charging or jump starting. |
| These batteries must be replaced. |
|
 Note
| The battery temperature must be at least 10 °C (50 °F). |
| – |
Turn off the ignition and all electrical consumers. |
| – |
Plug in the electrical system connector of the charger. The
last selected battery type is shown on the display. |
|

Set the capacity (Ah) of the battery to be charged with the
corresponding button “Up”↑ or “Down”↓. |

Clamp the red charging clamp “+” to the positive battery
terminal. |
Note
| In the case of vehicles with a start/stop function and an
installed Battery Monitoring Control Module -J367-, the black
charging clamp (-) must be connected to the body ground. The
start/stop system will malfunction if it is connected to the
negative terminal on the battery. |
| – |
Connect the black charging clamp “-” to the negative battery
terminal. |
| The battery charger recognizes the nominal voltage of the
connected battery (6 V, 12 V or 24 V) and begins the charging
process automatically. |

unit begins the “Final-charging”. The fourth bar is indicated on
the display -1-. The battery is now

of consumers during the charging process is possible. The
charging time is lengthened by this. |
| Depending on battery type, the charger switches over to
sustain charging after approximately 1-7 hours. To achieve a
100% charge status, the battery should remain connected to the
charger for that long. |
| Possible malfunctions and how they are handled: |
