Precautions before use
• Choose a sufficiently ventilated area
• Remove the caps on the battery (if any) and make sure the water level (electrolyte) is sufficient. Otherwise add the
deionized water and carefully clean the battery terminals.
• Check that the battery capacity in ampere-hours and voltage in volts are compatible with your charger.
Testing the battery
Before peforming a charge, it is possible to test the battery level. Connect the red clamp connector on «12V» or
«24V» depending on the voltage indicated on the battery. The display indicates the battery's state of health. It
alternates between the actual voltage and the state of charge percentage. A 6V battery is at a 100% capacity if
its voltage is superior to 6,4V. It is at 0% if its voltage is inferior to 5,9V. A 12V battery is at a 100% capacity if its
voltage is superior to 12.8V. It is at 0% if its voltage is inferior to 11.8V. A 24V battery is at a 100% capacity if its
voltage is superior to 25.6V. It is at 0% if its voltage is inferior to 23.6V.
Charge
Once the charger is connected to the battery while following the recommended procedure (see chapter. connection
and disconnection), plug the red clamp's connector on the voltage : «12V» or «24V». Select the charge speed (p.4,
n°12) with respect to the battery capacity (see table below), choose the battery type (n°11) then briefly press the
START/STOP button (n°8). To stop the charge at any time, press the START/STOP button.
Risk of explosion or acid projections if the wrong voltage is selected (24V for a 12V battery).
By default the appliance is configured to charging level «3» and battery type: «Universal».

Three indicators show that the battery is charging :
- The charge LED (n°7).
- The display : It alternates between the battery voltage and the percentage of charge (an evolution of both values
should be noticed).
- The voltage and percentage LEDs (n°4 and 5). They remain on and alternate at the same time as the display.
The charge progression is shown in percentage (%).

Automatic restart (Can be used only when charging)
In the event of a power cut :
- During a normal charge, the DIAG-STARTIUM switches off. When it switches back on, it does not resume the
charge. It must be manually resumed.
- During a charge with the «Automatic restart» feature on, the DIAG- STARTIUM switches off. When it switches
backon, it automatically resumes the charge.
To use the «Automatic restart» mode :
- Connect the charger according to the instructions,
- Choose the charging speed and the battery type with respect to its characteristics,
- Then keep the START/STOP button pressed (> 5 seconds).
