6. Encès: Flip the power switch on the charger to the "ON" position. The digital display should illuminate, indicating the battery voltage.

The charger will automatically begin its 3-stagprocés de càrrega electrònica.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

The PowerMax PMBC-75 operates with an intelligent 3-stage charging system designed to optimize battery health and extend its lifespan.

Procés de càrrega:

• Stage 1 (Bulk Charge): The charger delivers maximum current to rapidly bring the battery to approximately 80% of its capacity.
• Stage 2 (Absorption Charge): El voltage remains constant while the current gradually decreases, bringing the battery to 100% charge. This stage ensures the battery is fully charged without overstressing it.
• Stage 3 (Float Charge): Once the battery is fully charged, the charger switches to a lower, constant voltage to maintain the battery's charge, compensating for self-discharge. This prevents overcharging and keeps the battery ready for use.

During operation, the digital display will show the current voltage. The charger automatically adjusts its output based on the battery's needs.

Using as a Power Supply:

The PowerMax PMBC-75 can also function as a power supply for 12V devices, such as car audio systems, without needing to start the vehicle. Connect the unit as described in the "Setup" section, and it will provide stable 12V DC power.

6. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your PowerMax PMBC-75 battery charger.

• Neteja: Disconnect the charger from both the AC power and the battery before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Cable i Clamp Inspecció: Inspeccioneu regularment els cables de la bateria i el clampsi hi ha signes de danys, desfiladura o corrosió. Substituïu-los si cal.
• Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store the charger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure cables are neatly coiled to prevent damage.
