User manual TRONIC T5 BATTERY CHARGER

[. . . ] If the mains cable is damaged, the charger may only be used again when the mains cable has been replaced by the service department. There is otherwise a risk of death from electric shock!If the charging leads are damaged, there is a risk of fire from high short-circuit currents. Have the charging leads repaired and the Insulation checked, before using the charger again! [. . . ] 16g/cm3 - half charged with an acid density of 1. 21 g/cm3 - fully charged with an acid density of more than 1. 28g/cm3 The charging time is calculated by the formula "Battery capacity divided by the charging current". For example, for a battery capacity of 36 Ah and a charging current of 12 A, it would theoretically be about 3 hours (3 h x 12 A = 36 Ah). This is only close to the maximum value at the beginning of charging. Observe the decrease of the charging current to calculate the actual charging time from the middle value. If the charging current does not decrease significantly in the course of the total charging time, this indicates a defective battery!This may not be charged further under any circumstances, to prevent overheating!If the charging current is higher than about 10% of the battery capacity, the in build gas in the battery may be so much, that the battery manufacturer provides an opening of the battery closing-seal, to draw off possible excess pressure. Read the battery documents to inform your self about opening the battery and the dangers of with battery acid!Care Cleaning is not necessary, unless there is visible dirt. If you want to clean the casing: · Make sure before cleaning that the power plug has been pulled out of the socket. And that the charging cables have been taken off of the battery, to prevent a short circuit. Clean the casing and the charging cables with a damp cloth. Make sure that no moisture gets into the charger · Clean the charging clamps if there is rust or any other dirt on them. This could otherwise reduce the conductivity. Protect the charging cable clamps from rust and dirt by wrapping them thickly in plastic foil!Disposal There are no disposal regulations for the materials used in this battery charger at the time of writing these instructions. [. . . ] Do not try to repair a defective charger yourself ­ if you are not an expert. There could otherwise be risk of death through an electric shock or risk of fire. According to the calculated charging time or when the charging current is low: First pull out the mains plug before taking off the charging cables!In this order you prevent the charging cables, which have already been taken off, from being live and causing a short circuit!
