How to Use BCS-4820B Battery Charger SwitchMode

The BCS-4820B Battery Charger SwitchMode is designed for professional users and industrial applications. Follow these steps for safe and effective operation:

1. Prepare the Charger and Batteries
   Place the charger on a flat surface near the batteries. Ensure the area is dry and clear of any obstructions. 
2. Connect to Battery Terminals
   Attach the insulated output terminals to the battery or batteries. Confirm polarity—positive to positive, negative to negative. Use the dual channels if charging two batteries simultaneously. 
3. Select Operation Mode
   Choose whether you will be using the unit for battery charging or as a DC power supply. Set the timer if scheduled output is required. 
4. Power the Unit On
   Plug the charger into an AC power source within the 207–253V range. The microprocessor will initiate the three-stage charging cycle automatically. 
5. Monitor if Needed
   While fully automatic, you may choose to observe voltage and current during charging. The charger will automatically switch to float mode once the batteries are charged. 
6. Switch Off and Disconnect
   When charging is complete, turn off the unit, unplug it from the power source, and safely disconnect the terminals. Store the unit in a cool, dry place.
