4-STAGE AUTOMATIC CHARGING

The AC008 & AC015 are fully automatic battery chargers with 4 charge stages.

Automatic charging protects your battery from being overcharged so you can leave the

charger connected to the battery indefinitely.

4-stage charging is a sophisticated charging technique that gives your battery longer life and

better performance compared to using traditional chargers.

Projecta’s Charge N’ Maintain Battery Chargers are suitable for most 12V automotive,

marine and Lithium batteries.

The 4 charge stages are:

Battery Health Check, Bulk, Absorption and Float.

BATTERY HEALTH CHECK,

Checks to make sure the battery can accept charge.

BULK (CONSTANT CURRENT)

The Bulk stage reduces charging time by charging the battery at the maximum rate (constant

current) to a set voltage, at which point the battery is approximately 80% charged.

ABSORPTION (CONSTANT VOLTAGE)

The absorption stage charges the battery to 100% by adjusting the charge rate allowing

the battery to absorb more power.

FLOAT

The Float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or damaging

the battery. This means the charger can be left connected to the battery indefinitely.

FEATURES

SWITCHMODE TECHNOLOGY

Using the latest technology in battery chargers, switchmode chargers convert 240V AC

power to 12V DC power using electronic components unlike traditional battery chargers that

rely on heavy transformers. This allows the charger to be lightweight and compact without

sacrificing on performance.

SPARK-FREE AND POLARITY PROTECTED

All Projecta Charge ‘N’ Maintain battery chargers are spark-free and are protected against

accidental reverse connection making them safer to use around batteries.

WEATHER PROOF IP65

The chargers are IP65 rated which means they can be used outside without getting

damaged. Although the charger is a 240VAC device care should be taken that the plug

is not submersed in water.

LED CHARGE INDICATOR

The LED Charge Indicator is bi-colour and is green when charging and fully charged and

yellow if there is a fault.

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.

STEP 2 – CONNECT TO BATTERY

There are three options for connecting to a battery.

Step 2A – Connecting to a battery that is out of the vehicle

Step 2B – Connecting to a battery fitted to a vehicle

Step 2C – Permanent hard wiring connection to a battery

STEP 2A – BATTERY OUT OF VEHICLE

Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery post.

Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Negative (-) battery post.

STEP 2B – BATTERY IN VEHICLE

Determine if the vehicle is Positively (+) or Negatively (-) earthed. Negatively earthed

vehicles have a cable (usually black) from the Negative battery terminal to the

vehicle’s chassis.

Negatively earthed (most vehicles)

Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery terminal.

Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the vehicle’s chassis away from

the fuel line or moving parts.

Connection out of vehicle

Connection in vehicle

(negatively earthed)

Positively earthed

Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Negative (-) battery terminal.

Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the vehicle’s chassis away from the

fuel line or moving parts.

STEP 2C – PERMANENT HARD WIRING

It is possible to hard wire the DC charging leads to the battery for permanent installations.

Use the supplied fused wiring harness.

AC008 use 1A fuse

AC015 uses 3A fuse

Connection:

1. Connect the RED lead (with inline fuse and ring terminal) to the Positive (+) battery post,

remove the supplied fuse.

2. Connect the BLACK lead (with ring terminal) to the Negative (-) battery post.

3. Fit the correctly rated fuse.

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.

Ensure any modification to the 240V mains lead is carried out by a qualified person and that

connection to supply mains is in accordance with National wiring rules.

STEP 3 – CONNECT TO 240V MAINS POWER

Connect the battery charger to the 240V mains powered socket and turn on the mains power.

STEP 4 – CHARGING

The charging L.E.D should be on whilst charging and the full L.E.D will turn on when

fully charged.

Connection in vehicle

(positively earthed)

Inline fuse Ring terminal

STEP 5 – DISCONNECTION

Ensure the 240V mains switch is turned off and the charger is disconnected from the 240V

mains power.

Battery out of vehicle

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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. How do I know if the battery is charged?

A. The charger will indicate full on the display. Alternatively use a Battery Hydrometer

(Projecta Part No. BH100). A reading of 1.250 or more in each cell indicates a fully

charged battery.

Q. I have connected the charger properly but the Charger won’t start charging?

A. In some cases batteries can be flattened to the point where they have very little or no

voltage. 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 Charge N’ Maintain battery

chargers are designed to charge from 2.0 Volts.

If the voltage is lower than the voltages stated above use a pair of booster cables to

connect between two batteries to provide more than 2.0 Volts to the battery being

charged. The charger can then start to charge the battery and the booster cables can

be removed.

Q. Can I use the charger as a power supply?

A. Projecta chargers are designed to only supply power to the battery clips when they

are connected correctly to a battery. This is to prevent sparks during connection to the

battery or if connected incorrectly by mistake. This safety feature prevents the charger

from being used as a ‘Power Supply’

Q. How can I tell what stage the battery charger is in?

A. The LED indicators will show Green flashing when charging and Green solid on when

fully charged.
