THE CHARGING PROCESS

The HFBC12 has a sophisticated computer system that performs a 7 stage

automatic charging cycle.

The stages of this charging cycle are as follows:

STAGE 1 DIAGNOSIS (UPON CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY)

• Polarity check: to make sure that the connections are correct.

• Battery check: to make sure that the battery can accept a charge and

is not faulty, if it is the charger will not attempt to charge the battery.

Warning LEDs will come on if either test fails.

STAGE 2 PRE-CHARGE

STAGE 3 SOFT START

STAGE 4 CONSTANT CURRENT

Charges a discharged battery at a constant current depending on charge

mode selection.

Charges until the battery is 80-90% re-charged.

STAGE 5 CV(CONSTANT VOLTAGE)

This is a charging cycle for batteries nearly full. It will top off the battery to a full

charge.

STAGE 6 RESTING

Cuts off automatically when a full charge is reached.

STAGE 7 RESTORING

Automatic On-off Monitoring. The charger will maintain and optimise the

battery indefinitely so long as it remains connected to the battery. If the

battery falls below 12.8V DC, the charger will restart at stage one.

PREPARATION

1. If it is necessary to remove the battery from a vehicle to charge it, always

remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure that all

accessories in the vehicle are off to prevent sparking.

2. During charging, make sure that the area around the battery has good

airflow.

3. Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in

contact with eyes.

4. Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level

specified by the battery manufacturer. This helps remove unwanted gas

from the cell. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, follow the

manufacturer's instructions.

5. Study all the battery manufacturer's specified precautions: for example,

removing or not removing cell caps while being charged, and

recommended rates of charge.

6. Refer to the vehicle manual to find the voltage of the battery and make

sure that the output voltage switch is set at the correct voltage.

7. If the charger has adjustable charge rate, charge the battery initially at the

lowest rate.

CHARGER LOCATION

1. Place the charger as far away from the battery as possible.

2. Do not position the charger above the battery during the charging

procedure. Gases from the battery will cause corrosion and damage the

charger.

3. Do not let battery acid drip on the charger when reading specific gravity

or when you fill the battery.

4. Do not operate the charger in a closed in area, or decrease airflow in any

way.

5. Do not place the battery on top of the charger.
