Charging batteries that are not connected to a vehicle
1. Before you start to charge the battery, make sure the power supply lead is NOT plugged into the mains.
2. Connect the output lead with red clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the battery.
3. Connect the output lead with black clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the battery.
ATTENTION
Make sure both clamps of the output leads generate a suitable contact with their corresponding
terminals.
HOW TO USE THE BATTERY CHARGER
1. Once you have connected the output leads to the battery, plug the power supply lead of the battery charger into the
mains, making sure the voltage matches the nominal voltage of the battery charger (230V-50Hz); having done this, the
appliance will emit an acoustic signal for 0.5 seconds and all the LED indicators on the control panel will switch on for two
seconds.
2. The battery charger will configure itself in “Stand-by” mode.
How to recognise “stand-by” mode:
•
Model:
-
BETA 1498CB/30:
ON LED (H) lit, 12V LED (A) lit.
Model:
-
BETA 1498CB/80:
ON LED (H) lit,
LED (A1) lit, GEL LED (C) lit
Model:
-
BETA 1498CB/120:
ON LED (H) lit,
LED (B2) lit, DRY GEL LED (C1) lit
3. At this stage, with the battery charger in “stand-by” mode, set the charging parameters suitable for the type of battery to
be charged using the keys on the control panel. The charging parameters selected are pointed out by the corresponding
LED, which switches on.
Settable charging parameters:
Model:
BETA 1498CB/30, for 1Ah to 70Ah batteries (Fig. 1).
Charge for 1Ah to 30Ah batteries, maintenance charge for 1Ah to 70Ah batteries
•
Key 12V – 6V (1), based on the voltage of the battery:
•
12V (LED A) for 12 Volt batteries
-
6V (LED B) for 6 Volt batteries
-
Model:
BETA 1498CB/80, for 1Ah to 110Ah batteries (Fig. 2).
Key
•
–
(1A), based on the capacity of the battery:
-
(LED A1): charge for 30Ah to 70Ah batteries, maintenance for 30Ah to 110Ah batteries
-
(LED B1): charge for 1Ah to 30Ah batteries, maintenance for 1Ah to 70Ah batteries
GEL – WET key (2), based on the type of battery:
•
GEL (LED C) for sealed batteries (without caps)
-
WET (LED D) for conventional batteries (with caps)
-
Model:
BETA 1498CB/120, for 4Ah to 190Ah batteries (Fig.3)
Key
•
–
(1B), based on the capacity of the battery:
-
(LED B2): charge for 4Ah to 70Ah batteries, maintenance for 4Ah to 110Ah batteries
-
(LED A2): charge for 70Ah to 130Ah batteries, maintenance for 70Ah to 190Ah batteries
DRY GEL – WET AGM key (2), based on the type of battery:
•
DRY GEL (LED C1) for sealed batteries (without caps)
-
WET AGM (LED D1) for conventional batteries (with caps) and sealed batteries with high Cold Cranking Amp
-
rating.
4. Once you have set the charging parameters, press the START key (3) to start charging the battery. When the LED (E)
switches on, it means that the charging cycle is in progress.
5. The CHARGING LED (I) remains lit in phases “I” and “U0” while the battery is charging.
6. When the FULL LED (L) switches on, it means that the battery is fully charged (100%) and the battery charger will switch to
the maintenance phase, keeping the state of efficiency of the battery constantly monitored so that it is always at an optimal
level of charge. In this charging phase, the appliance can be left connected to the battery for several months.
7. If you wish to end or interrupt the charging cycle, following the end-of-charging instructions.
