4. Einrichtung und Verbindung
Follow these steps to safely connect the GYSFLASH 12.12 charger to your battery:
- Bereiten Sie die Batterie vor: Ensure the battery terminals are clean and free of corrosion. If charging an in-vehicle battery, ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and all accessories are disconnected.
- An die Batterie anschließen:
- Verbinden Sie rot (+) charger clamp/terminal to the positiv (+) Batterieklemme.
- Verbinden Sie Schwarz (-) charger clamp/terminal to the negativ (-) Batterieklemme.
- For in-vehicle batteries, if the battery is not grounded to the chassis, connect the black (-) clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal. If the battery is grounded to the chassis, connect the black (-) clamp zum Fahrzeugchassis, entfernt von Batterie und Kraftstoffleitung.
- An die Stromversorgung anschließen: Plug the charger's AC power cable into a standard electrical outlet. The charger will power on.
- Auswahlmodus: Press the mode selection button to choose the appropriate charging mode (see Section 5).
To disconnect, first unplug the charger from the AC outlet, then disconnect the black (-) clamp, gefolgt vom roten (+) clamp.
5. Betriebsarten
The GYSFLASH 12.12 offers several operating modes to optimize charging for different battery types and conditions. Use the mode selection button to cycle through these options.
- Normal Charge Mode: Standard charging for most 12V lead-acid batteries (WET, MF, Ca/Ca, GEL).
- AGM-Modus: Specifically designed for cold weather charging (below 5°C) and for Start & Stop batteries (EFB & AGM types). This mode adjusts charging parameters for these specific conditions.
- Aktualisierungsmodus: Used to recover deeply discharged batteries. This mode attempts to recondition batteries that have been left discharged for extended periods.
- Versorgungsmodus: Transforms the charger into a stabilized power supply. This mode is useful for:
- Maintaining battery health during vehicle demonstrations in showrooms.
- Preserving vehicle memory settings (e.g., radio codes, ECU data) during battery replacement.
The charger also features an Optimized Maintenance Charge, allowing it to remain plugged in indefinitely during winter months to maintain battery health without overcharging.
6. 8-Step Intelligent Charging Curve
The GYSFLASH 12.12 utilizes an advanced 8-step charging curve to ensure efficient, safe, and complete charging, maximizing battery lifespan and performance. The external temperature sensor automatically adjusts this curve based on ambient conditions.
- Analyse: Assesses battery condition and initial charge level.
- Erholung: Initiates a gentle charge for deeply discharged batteries (SOS Recovery for batteries >2V).
- Prüfen: Checks battery's ability to accept charge.
- Desulfatierung: Applies a pulsed charge to break down lead sulfate crystals, restoring battery capacity.
- Aufladung: Bulk charging phase, delivering maximum current until the battery reaches approximately 80% capacity.
- Absorption: Verringert allmählich den Strom, während die Spannung beibehalten wird.tage, um den Akku auf 100% aufzuladen.
- Aktualisieren: (If selected or needed) Further reconditions the battery.
- Schwimmende Ladung: Hält den Akku mit einer niedrigen, konstanten Spannung voll geladen.tage, wodurch eine Selbstentladung verhindert wird.
7. Wartung
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your GYSFLASH 12.12 charger and the batteries it charges.
- Pflege des Ladegeräts:
- Halten Sie das Ladegerät sauber und trocken. Wischen Sie es mit einem weichen, trockenen Tuch ab.amp Stoff. Keine Lösungsmittel verwenden.
- Bewahren Sie das Ladegerät an einem kühlen, trockenen Ort auf, wenn Sie es nicht verwenden.
- Kabel und Anschlüsse prüfenampPrüfen Sie regelmäßig auf Beschädigungen. Ersetzen Sie sie gegebenenfalls.
