Sealey SUPERCHARGE40/1 - Manual (Page 3)

5. SIMULtANEOUS CHARGING
5.1. A number of batteries may be charged at the same time. to do so we recommend
the use of parallel connection as shown in fig.2A
5.2. two 12 volt batteries may be charged simultaneously in series using a 24volt output
as shown in fig.2B. this is only recommended if both batteries are in a similar state
of discharge.
6. SAFEty CUt OUt
fig.2
Your charger is equipped with a safety cut-out protection which will cut the output
in the following circumstances:
a) overload: too high a current to the battery.
b) short circuit: clamps touch, or the polarity on battery is reversed.
c) Prolonged starting attempts.
should the fuse blow take the following action:
6.1. turn the unit off and disconnect from the mains power supply.
6.2. Allow the unit to cool down, establish the reason for failure and correct the situation.
6.3. replace the fuse using only sealey replacement parts.
Do not use a fuse with copper bridges or similar as these will damage your equipment.
refer to chapter 2 for fuse information and part numbers.
6.4. the superboost 40/1.V4 has an additional fuse on the mains supply side to protect the unit when left on automatic mode. should this
fuse blow, investigate your mains supply for any faults. to access the fuse which is mounted on the front panel (see fusE t2A) insert
a screwdriver in the slot and gently turn the fuse holder about 20 ° anti-clockwise until it pops forward slightly. take hold of the end of the
holder and pull it forwards. remove the old fuse and replace it with a new one. Insert the holder back into the panel. fully depress the
holder and turn it clockwise until it locks.
3.3. Charging the battery. connect the charger to the mains power supply.
3.3.1. check the current delivery to the battery by reading the ammeter on the front of the battery charger. During the
charge the pointer on the ammeter will slowly decrease (move to the left) according to the capacity and condition of
the battery (see fig 3, dial face may vary according to model of charger).
3.3.2. to indicate that the battery is fully charged the reading on the ammeter should be at the “0” output indicator. to
correspond with this the electrolyte in the battery will begin to gas. stop charging at this point in order to protect the
battery plates and keep the battery in good condition.
3.3.3. unplug the charger from the mains power supply. Disconnect the power clamps, clean and store the charger in a safe, dry area.
3.3.4. replace the battery electrolyte cover or caps. Wipe up any splashes or spillage (remember the electrolyte is a corrosive acid).
return the battery to the vehicle and secure according the manufacturer’s instructions, and re-connect the power leads. check to
ensure all tools and non related items are removed before closing the bonnet or boot.

3.4.1. ALL MODELS EXCEPt tHE 40/1.V4.
should you need to charge a low, or no maintenance battery take very special care to ensure you use only a “LoW” slow charge. use a
battery tester to continually check the voltage input where the clamps attached to the battery. When the input reaches 14.4Volts stop the
charging process.
3.4.2. MODEL SUPERCHARGE 40/1.V4.
the 40/1.V4 has been designed for charging fully sealed, no, or low maintenance batteries to overcome the dangers mentioned in
