All faulty units must be returned to REDARC for repair. Incorrect handling
or reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or re and may void the
unit warranty.
ƒ Only use the Battery Charger for charging Standard Automotive Lead Acid,
Calcium Content, Gel, AGM, SLI, Deep Cycle or Lithium Iron Phosphate
type 12 V batteries.
ƒ If you need to replace your auxiliary battery, check the manufacturer's

All In-Vehicle Battery Chargers are suitable for all common types of
automotive lead acid batteries and LiFePO
data for your battery and ensure that the 'Maximum' voltage of the pro le
you select does not exceed the manufacturer's recommended maximum
charging voltage. If the 'Maximum' voltage is too high for your battery type,
please select another charging pro le.
ƒ Check the manufacturer's data for your battery and ensure that the
'Continuous Current Rating' of the charger does not exceed the
manufacturer's recommended maximum charging current.
ƒ When using the Battery Charger to charge a Lithium Iron Phosphate
battery, only batteries that feature an inbuilt battery management system
featuring inbuilt under and over voltage protection and cell balancing are
suitable.
ƒ The Battery Charger is not intended to supply power to a low voltage
electrical system other than to charge a battery.
ƒ Cable and fuse sizes are speci ed by various codes and standards
which depend on the type of vehicle the Battery Charger is installed into.
Selecting the wrong cable or fuse size could result in harm to the installer
or user and/or damage to the Battery Charger or other equipment installed
in the system. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the correct cable
and fuse sizes are used when installing this Battery Charger.
ƒ NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in vicinity of battery or engine. This
may cause the battery to explode.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To assist with the safe operation and use of the Battery Charger when
connected to the battery:
ƒ Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes
