HOW DO I KNOW IF THE BATTERY IS CHARGED?

The charger’s FULL LED will illuminate (solid). Alternatively, use a Battery Hydrometer (Part No. BH100). A reading of 1.250 or more in each cell indicates a fully charged battery.

I HAVE CONNECTED THE CHARGER PROPERLY BUT THE BULK LED DOES NOT COME ON.

In some cases batteries can be flattened to the point where they have very little or no voltage. This can occur if a small amount of power is used for a long period, for example if a map light is left on for a week or more. Projecta 6 Stage chargers are designed to charge from as little as 3.0 Volts.

If the voltage is lower than 3.0 Volts, use a pair of booster cables to connect between two batteries to provide more than 3.0 Volts to the battery being charged. The charger can then start charging and the booster cables can be removed.

CAN I USE THE CHARGER AS A POWER SUPPLY?

Projecta 6 Stage chargers are designed to only supply power to the battery clips when correctly connected to a battery. This prevents sparks during connection or if connected incorrectly. Because of this safety feature, the charger cannot be used as a ‘Power Supply’.

HOW CAN I TELL WHAT STAGE THE BATTERY CHARGER IS IN?

Coloured LEDs indicate the various charging stages. Refer to the “LED Charge Indicators” section of this booklet.

WHY DOES CALCIUM MODE TAKE SO LONG TO CHARGE?

To fully charge a Calcium battery, an additional charging stage called ‘Equalisation’ is required. This stage feeds a constant current into the battery until 16 Volts is reached, which rejuvenates the battery cells. This stage can take up to 12 hours.

WHY DO I NEED A SPECIAL CALCIUM MODE?

Because Calcium batteries use different chemistry, they require a specific charging algorithm. They are also affected when deeply discharged or heavily used. A Calcium charger is needed to fully recharge the battery and maximise its life and performance.

WHAT IS A CALCIUM BATTERY?

Calcium batteries are lead acid batteries with calcium added to the lead plates, either to one plate (Calcium Hybrid) or both plates (Calcium–Calcium).

Benefits include:
i. Lower internal resistance, providing a small increase in CCA performance.
ii. Improved ability to withstand higher engine bay temperatures.
iii. Low self-discharge rate, typically giving a shelf life four times longer than a standard Lead–Lead battery.
