BATTERY LINK MCU025 Manual 

Battery Charger Manual For your personal safety read, understand and follow the information provided in this instruction manual.

WARNING! To avoid any personal injury, please read the safety instructions below. This battery charger is not intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. • The ACID/FLUID within a battery is highly corrosive and poisonous. It can produce flammable and toxic gases when recharged and will explode if ignited, When working with batteries, always wear eye protection, remove jewellery and ensure the area is well ventilated. If spilt - it will cause severe burning to eyes, skin, clothing, damage paintwork and corrode many metals. Ensure that power is disconnected from any appliance in the vicinity of the spill and immediately wash any area that has been affected with water. • DO NOT allow battery acid to mix with salt water. This will produce chlorine gas which may be deadly. • For automotive & marine 12 volt use only, not to be used with dry cell batteries. • During the charging process, do not use a naked flame near a battery. Batteries generate explosive gases during the charging process that may explode. • Never smoke or light cigarettes near a battery. • Do not place tools on top of a battery or allow tools to fall on the battery to prevent the chance of a short circuit and sparks. • Always wear eye protection when charging a battery. • Ensure charging and testing is undertaken in a well-ventilated area. • Ensure the chargers ventilation holes are not obstructed. Inadequate ventilation may over- heat the charger and cause in-efficient operation. • This battery charger is not intended for outdoor operation. Do not expose it to moisture or extreme weather conditions. • The battery charger contains hazardous voltages. There are no user serviceable components inside. If the AC supply cord is damaged, in order to avoid a hazard it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or equally qualified person. • Examine the battery charger regularly for damage, especially the cord, plug and enclosure. If the battery charger is damaged, it must not be used until it has been repaired. NOTE: The warnings, cautions and instructions detailed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense and caution should be used by the operator at all times.

The MCU025 is a sophisticated multi stage pulse charger, designed to charge most 12 Volt SLA, Lead Acid, Gel and Calcium batteries. FULLY CHARGED CHARGING POWER • Ideal for automotive & marine batteries. • Fully automatic multi stage charging. • Pulse mode technology that reduces oxidation, evens electrolyte consistency and minimizes temperature equating to longer battery life. • Compatible with GEL, Calcium, Deep Cycle, SLA and conventional flooded lead-acid batteries. • Internal charger temperature monitoring and power output control. • LED indicators show charging and float. • Zero volt minimum battery start up – can charge a completely flat battery. • Over charging, short circuit and over temperature protection. • Reverse polarity protection. • As a Gel, Lead Acid, SLA and Calcium battery charger, the unit provides a safe method of restoring discharged batteries, through a multi stage charging process. • Heavy duty design. MULTI-STAGE CHARGER MULTI-STAGE CHARGER Suitable for negatively (-) grounded vehicles where the negative lead from the battery is connected to the vehicle chassis or engine block.

FULLY CHARGED CHARGING POWER Connecting the charger to a battery in a vehicle: Ensure the ignition and all of the accessories in the vehicle are switched off. This will maxi- mize the charge your battery receives. It will also minimize any chance of damage occurring to the vehicles on-board electronics. 1. Inspect the electrolyte levels in the battery and top up if required. This step does not apply to maintenance-free batteries. 2. Connect the red positive (+) lead of the battery charger to the positive (+) post of the battery. 3. Connect the black negative (-) lead of the battery charger to negative (-) post of the battery. 4. Plug the battery charger into an AC outlet then switch on mains power to activate the charger. 5. When “Power” LED light is illuminated this indicates the battery charger is active and ready to use.

indicated by the illuminated “Charging” LED. The battery charger delivers a Boost current up to 2.5 amps. When the battery is 80% charged, the charger will automatically switch to the “float stage”. (The battery should now be capable of starting a vehicle.) Float Stage: After the Boost/ Absorption stage, the battery charger output current is now reduced. The battery is slowly brought up to a 95% recharged state and is then constantly maintained at this level. By monitoring the battery voltage the charger continues to top up the battery, keeping it charged and ready for use. You can leave the charger connected to the battery without risk of overcharging. Disconnecting the charger from a battery: 1. Always turn off and unplug the charger from the mains power supply before making or breaking connection to the battery. 2. Remove the black negative (-) then the red positive (+) of the battery charger from the battery or unplug the terminal connector lead. 3. Re-inspect the electrolyte levels in the battery and top up if required (non-maintenance free and non-sealed battery types only).

Fault Finding » Charger won’t indicate charging. » No spark when charging clamps or terminals touch together. » Multimeter will not provide a reading between charging clamps prior to connection to battery. » Battery won’t fully charge or hold charge. » • Charger not connected to battery. • Check terminal connection. • Battery is not 12V. » Charger features an inbuilt safety device to prevent sparking if clamps or terminals accidentally touch together. » A multimeter voltage reading will only be provided when the charger is connected to the battery. » Batteries that are over 3 years old; severely discharged (or previously been severely discharged) ; not regularly recharged; over- heated; low in electrolyte ; undercharged: overcharged or sulphated may not accept or hold a charge. A good automotive store or battery outlet often offer a free or low cost in store service to check condition of battery. Your battery may require replacement.
