DOWN4SOUND | D4S-CHG-8A – 12V LITHIUM CHARGER

The D4S-CHG-8A charger is an advanced battery charger designed specifically for high performance 12V lithium batteries. This charger combines the reliability of a high frequency MOSFET rectified assemblywith an advanced microprocessor control board to create a battery charger that can rapidly and safely recharge 12V lithium batteries in several sizes.Voltage Monitoring The batterys terminal voltage is measured every five minutes by the on-board microprocessors and this information is analyzed in addition to the elapsed time to dynamically control the battery charger foroptimum charging performance. Automatic Computer Analysis/Auto ShutdownThe microprocessors will analyze the battery when connected. If the batterys voltage is below 4V the charger may not recognize the battery is connected and will not begin charging. Likewise, if the batterywill not come up to the correct voltage in a ten-hour period the microprocessor control board will automatically shut the charger off.UL Approved Battery Cables. Six feet of durable battery cables are provided that are resistant to cuts and abrasion. The copper plated battery clamps are compact and custom designed easy connections. All clamp connections are solderedfor maximum current flow. Internal Cooling FanA cooling fan automatically operates during charging to keep the circuit and other internal components at a constant safe temperature. Important Safety InstructionsThe D4S-CHG-8A charger generates a low DC voltage and high DC current to the battery being charged. Operating the charger incorrectly or misusing it may damage the charger or create hazardous conditionsfor the user. WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD The D4S-CHG-8A charger is designed to charge 12V lithium batteries. Do not attempt to use with batteries with voltages not matching the chargers specified voltage. Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases. Do not use this product in an enclosure containing lead-acid batteries. These batteries vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections. Never attempt to charge a frozen battery. Do not connect DC clamps to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Do not expose charger to water or rain or temperatures over 104 F (40 C). Do not open the charger. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. For service see the Returns policy in the back of this guide. WARNING: HEATED SURFACE – Ensure at least 2 (5 cm) air space is maintained on all sides of the charger. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an undersized extension cord will adversely affect the output of the product and could prove to be dangerous. If an extension cordmust be used, make sure that pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of the plug on the charger. We recommend a minimum of a 16AWG cord for lengths up to50 and a minimum of a 14AWG cord for lengths up to 100. We do not recommend cords over 100. Do not use this product with an ungrounded extension cord. Be sure AC and DC cords are not pinched or otherwise damaged by hoods, doors, or other moving engine components. Observe battery polarity.*IMPORTANT* If this charger is to be used with a portable generator, it should be equipped with automatic voltage regulation to ensure consistent output of the product.- SpecificationsPhysical SpecificationsDimensions (W x H x D) : 12 x 5 x 8Weight: 7 lbsAC Input Connections: 5.0 AWG 16DC Output Connections: 4.0AWG 10 *IMPORTANT*: SPECIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.12V LITHIUM BATTERY CHARGER AC Input SpecificationsAC Input Voltage : 100-120 VAC, 47-63 HzAC Input Current: 8A RMS fuse protected15A ProtectionBattery Reverse: YESShort Circuit: YESOverload: YES Speed control
