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 time, for example a map reading 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 battery voltage is below 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 the battery, and the booster cables can be removed.

CAN I USE THE CHARGER AS A POWER SUPPLY?

No. Projecta 6 Stage chargers only supply power to the battery clips when they are correctly connected to a battery. This safety feature prevents sparks and incorrect connection, meaning 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 the booklet for more detail.

WHY DOES CALCIUM MODE TAKE SO LONG TO CHARGE?

Calcium batteries require an additional charging stage called “Equalisation”. This involves applying a constant current until the battery reaches 16 Volts, which rejuvenates the battery cells. This stage can take up to 12 hours.

WHY DO I NEED A SPECIAL CALCIUM MODE?

Calcium batteries use different chemistry and therefore require a different charging algorithm. When deeply discharged or heavily used, they must be recharged using a Calcium charger to fully restore battery performance and lifespan.

WHAT IS A CALCIUM BATTERY?

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

The added calcium provides several benefits:
i. Lower internal resistance for a small increase in CCA performance.
ii. Increased tolerance to high engine bay temperatures.
iii. Low self-discharge rate, giving a shelf life up to four times longer than a Lead–Lead battery.
