SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please read the Safety Precautions carefully before installing the power supply. Be sure to observe all precautions without fail. CAUTION Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in property damage or personal injury, which may be serious depending on the circumstances. Correct installation is the most critical factor in ensuring the safe use of the power supply.
WHAT’S INCLUDED Owner's Manual FEATURES The BatteryCharge15 (BC15) and BatteryCharge25 (BC25) are automatic 12V battery chargers with 7 charge stages. The 7-stage charger increases your battery’s life and performance as it gives highperformance and intelligent charging. As well as being able to use this charger on various types of batteries, it can also help recondition sulphated lead acid batteries or revive drained LiFePO4 batteries.
Polarity Protection This allows the charger protection if there is a reverse connection or short circuit and stops any sparking from the output leads. Note: This feature is not available in Power Supply mode where a battery should not be connected. Over Temperature Protection A three-phase temperature protection system has been installed for your safety. These are: a. if increased temperature is detected a cooling fan will be started; b. if cooling fan fails to be sufficient, power output is reduced; and c.
BATTERY CHEMISTRY SELECTION Our Battery Chemistry option lets you set the charging profile of batteries depending on their chemistry (AGM/Gel, Calcium, Wet, or LiFePO4). This must be done to ensure you maintain your battery effectively and maximise its performance. To do this, press the battery chemistry button until you have selected the correct battery type. WARNING Do not attempt to charge a battery with a different chemistry. This may damage the battery.
ADJUSTABLE CHARGE RATE The charge rate of the BatteryCharge can be adjusted to accommodate batteries of varying sizes. Both the BC15 and BC25 are designed to charge 12V batteries only Attempting to charge batteries with higher current, exceeding what is specified in the battery manual, may damage the battery. 2 Amp Motorcycle – ideal for charging batteries between 5 and 20 Ampere-hours. Note: Charging current may be lower than 2A.
Desulphation When a battery has not been charged for some time, the lead-sulphate within the battery hardens. The desulphation stage is used to break this down and start the process back to a full charge. The 1st green LED in the top row flashes to indicate when in Desulphation and is constant when complete. Soft Charge A non-harsh, ‘soft’ introduction of power to the battery, to help preserve the battery life.
Float This final stage keeps the battery at optimum charge without overcharging or damage to the battery. This allows the battery to be connected to the charger at all times, if required. All 6 green LEDs in the top row are constantly lit when in Float mode. Note: If user connected a battery greater than 90AH to a BC15 (or 150AH to a BC25), Float mode may not necessarily mean that the battery has been fully charged. It may require another cycle of charge modes to fully charge the battery.
Step 5: Connect to Battery Attach the RED clamp from the charger to the Positive (+) battery post first, then attach the BLACK lead clamp from the charger to the Negative (-) battery post. Step 6: Charging During this process, the charging and ‘Fully Charged’ indicator lights will flash in various patterns. This indicates the various stages of charge for your battery.
POWER SUPPLY MODE Connect the BC15/BC25 to the mains supply and select Power Supply mode by depressing and holding the Charge Rate selection button for 10+seconds, or until all three LEDs in the bottom row are illuminated with the 3rd LED illuminating constant orange. Connect positive and negative leads of the BC15/BC25 corresponding to the load terminals. Ensure clamps do not get short with each other in order not to degrade the metal and to avoid spark.
SPECIFICATIONS Part No. BC15 Type 7 Stage Input (nominal) 240VAC, 50Hz Input Power BC15 270W / BC25 430W Nominal Output Voltage 13.
FAULT CODES The top row first stage LED will flash red when a fault is detected. The LED will quickly blink the error code, pause for 2 seconds, then repeat for up to 30 seconds. Touching one of the push buttons while the error LED is flashing will make the unit re-attempt battery charge immediately. 30 seconds after a fault is detected, the unit will automatically re-attempt battery charge.
