Sealey AUTOCHARGE10D - Manual (Page 2)

2.1. Introduction
Compact electronic battery charger with pressed steel casing and carry handle. Intelligent charge control makes these units perfect for long
term maintenance of batteries on irregularly or seasonally used vehicles. Suitable for lead acid, AGM or gel batteries, charger reacts
continuously to battery condition and delivers whatever charge rate is required. Reverse polarity protection prevents inadvertent damage to
charger. An LED display confirms the status of charger and large 20mm digital ammeter gives an accurate indication of charge rate. These
electronic chargers can be connected to a battery for an indefinite period - the intelligent circuitry constantly monitoring the voltage and
maintaining the charge level at optimum.

 Ensure the charger is disconnected from the mains supply before attaching/detaching the power clamps to/from the battery.
 Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
 Ensure the output of the charger is the same voltage as the battery.
 If battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level before connecting the power clamps. If necessary
top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer’s instructions (Apply the personal safety precautions
described in part 1.2).

If the charger receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
 If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty clean them before attaching the power clamps.
 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
 DO NOT dis-assemble the charger for any reason. The charger must only be checked by qualified service personnel.
 DO NOT try to charge a non-rechargeable battery.
 DO NOT try to start engine when charger is connected to battery.
 DO NOT try to charge battery if battery fluid is frozen.
 WARNING! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow them
to touch the battery terminals.

DO NOT allow power clamps to touch each other or to make contact with any metallic part of the vehicle.
 DO NOT cross connect power leads from charger to battery. Ensure positive (+/RED) is to positive and negative (-/BLACK) is to negative.
 DO NOT pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals.
 DO NOT use the charger outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and DO NOT operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
 DO NOT use charger inside vehicle or inside engine compartment.
 Ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases, and do not cover or obstruct charger ventilation louvres.
 DO NOT use the charger for a task for which it is not designed.
 WARNING! DO NOT simultaneously charge batteries of different capacities or discharge levels.
 WARNING! If a fuse blows, ensure it is replaced with an identical fuse type and rating. Use only Sealey genuine parts.
 When not in use, store the charger carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.

3. OPERATION
 WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety and operational instructions before connecting the charger power
clamps to the battery. Only when you are sure that you understand the procedures is it safe to proceed with the actual charging
process.
Note: These electronic chargers can be connected to a battery for an indefinite period - the intelligent circuitry constantly monitoring the
voltage and maintaining the charge level at optimum.
Note: These units are fitted with Thermal Protection which will reduce or cut off the charging current until the battery temperature returns to
safe limits.
