Overview
The product is designed to charge and maintain 6 or 12V lead-acid batteries. The charger has been
optimised to maintain the battery of your motorcycle or car when it is not being used over longer
periods of time, for example over the winter. The charger is designed to charge and maintain Gel,
AGM, and standard lead-acid batteries. It features both eyelet terminal connection and crocodile
clips making connecting to battery terminals easy. Note that whilst this product is designed to
charge and maintain batteries, for high capacity batteries (>20Ah) it may take considerable time
to charge the cell. As such it is best used for battery charge maintenance when used with high
capacity batteries.
WARNING: Any use other than that described above will damage this product and involves the risk of
short circuits, fire, electric shock, etc.
