the best “life“ when recharged before being
drained more than 50 %. When fully discharged
they withstand about 300 charging cycles. The
GEL battery type is similar to AGM. The charg-
ing voltage is lower than for other lead-acid
batteries. Using the wrong charger for a Gel
battery will result in a reduction in power or a
shorter life.
– 6 V Regular: Select this mode for conventional
6 V batteries.

: Use this button to switch
between the following options
– Fast Charge: charges quickly (recommended in
low outdoor temperatures / winter)
– Normal Charge: normal charging process (nor-
mal speed)
–
Start: briefly delivers 75 ampere to bridge a w eak
or drained battery to jump start an engine
Attention: This mode can only be exited by unp lug-

Jump starting
Always make all the connections
as described and in the correct order. The vehicle‘s
electronics may otherwise be damaged.
Proceed against the specifications at your own risk
and responsibility.
Attention: This function is not suitable for batteries
below 45 Ah. This function could damage batteries
below 45 Ah.
Diesel vehicles and large-volume engines in part re-
quire amperages above 75 A for jump starting.
Note: The charger features an analysis program
to protect the battery from damage (e.g. sulphation
or rapid voltage drops), particularly during jump
starting. The device will not switch on the jump start-
er with severely drained or heavily stressed batteries
to protect the battery. During this process the battery
is already being charged with lower currents (Charg-
ing lights up). The display continues to read “0“. In
this event the jump start function cannot be used. This
will protect the battery from damage. You should
then first charge the battery. You may also use the
“Fast Charge“ or “Normal Charge“ function for
this purpose.
Connect the car charger‘s mains cable
9
to
power.
Connect the red connector clamp
6
to the
positive battery terminal. (The positive terminal
is marked with a “+“ symbol and a red mark.)
Connect the black connector clamp
5
to the
negative battery terminal. (The negative terminal
is marked with a “-“ symbol and a black mark.)
If the connector clamps are connected correctly,
the car charger will automatically select the cor-
rect battery type. You may review it in the “Bat-
tery Type“ option field and if necessary change
it by pressing the battery type button
2
.
Now select the “Start“ function using the Charge
Start button
3
. The cart charger will now ana-
lyse the battery‘s charge level. The display will
now read “0“.
Start the vehicle‘s ignition. The display will now
show a 5 second countdown (of which 2 second
priming / analysis function and 3 second jump
start function at 75 A) when needing the car
charger for jump starting (previously analysed
by the car charger). During this countdown the
car charger will briefly deliver 75 A to bridge
the battery to start the car. This is followed by
a 180 second pause to protect the battery. The
cycle will now restart (2 second priming / anal-
ysis function and 3 second jump starting at
75 A / 180 second pause).
To disconnect the device, first remove the termi-
nal clamps (
6
/
7
) and unplug the power
cord
9
.
Note: If the battery is completely drained, the 75 A
will not be sufficient to start all engines (e.g. diesel
vehicles).
In this case, please select the “Fast Charge“
option using the Charge Start button
3
and
charge the battery 60 % (preheating of diesel
engines draws power from the battery. This re-
quires 60 % after preheating).
You can monitor the charging process in the display
by selecting the “Battery %“ option using the digital
display button
1
.
Once 60 % has been reached, jump start again.
