Battery, Charging
CAUTION!
Risk of injury. Observe warning notes and safety precautions. Refer to --> [ Battery Safety Precautions ] Battery Safety Precautions!
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Battery Charger VAS 5903 (VAS 5095 A)
CAUTION!
While charging, always set the battery type to 2.4 V/C (Volts/Cell)! This applies to all batteries.
• The battery temperature must be at least 10 °C.
CAUTION!
Batteries that have a colorless or light yellow visual indicator must not be tested or charged. Jump starting must not be used!
There is a risk of explosion during testing, charging or jump starting.
These batteries must be replaced.
- Turn off the ignition and all electrical consumers.
- Check the battery type setting on the battery type selector. Refer to --> [ Battery Charger 5095A ] Battery Charger 5095A. Setting must be set to 2.4V/C (Volts/Cell).
- Clamp the red charging clamp "+" of the charger to the positive battery terminal.
- Clamp the black charging clamp "-" of the charger to the negative battery terminal.
- Switch on battery charger. Refer to --> [ Battery Charger 5095A ] Battery Charger 5095A.
The charge current display --> [ ] Battery Charger 5095A - 2 - and - 3 - light up yellow. When only the yellow LED - 3 - is lit, the battery is partially charged (approximately 90 %).
If the green LED --> [ ] Battery Charger 5095A - 4 - is also lit, the charger has switched to the charge sustain function. The battery is charged.
- Switch off the charger. Refer to --> [ Battery Charger 5095A ] Battery Charger 5095A.
- Remove the charger clamps from the battery terminals.
Charging Severely Discharged Battery
CAUTION!
Risk of injury. Observe warning notes and safety precautions. Refer to --> [ Battery Safety Precautions ] Battery Safety Precautions!
The charger recognizes the severely discharged battery automatically and starts the charging process conservatively with low charging current. The charge current is automatically adjusted to the battery charge state.
• Observe the notes in chapter. Refer to --> [ Severely Discharged Batteries ] Severely Discharged Batteries.
• The battery voltage must be at least 0.6 V!
CAUTION!
Batteries that have a colorless or light yellow visual indicator must not be tested or charged. Jump starting must not be used!
There is a risk of explosion during testing, charging or jump starting.
These batteries must be replaced.
CAUTION!
• The polarity protection of the charger clamps is not active in the operation mode "charging severely batteries/Support mode". Connect the charger clamps to the battery terminals correctly according to polarity!
• During the charging process, always set the operation mode corresponding with the battery Operation instructions for Battery Charger Vas 5903!
• The severely discharged battery is not recognized by the charger. Refer to --> [ Severely Discharged Batteries ] Severely Discharged Batteries.
• Do not touch START / STOP if the charge clamps are connected incorrectly! The charger can be damaged.
It is not possible for the Battery Charger (VAS 5903) to automatically recognize batteries with voltage under 2 Volts.
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Battery Charger VAS 5903 (VAS 5903)
• The battery temperature must be at least 10 °C.
- Turn off the ignition and all electrical consumers.
- Plug in the electrical system connector of the charger. The last selected operation mode is shown on the display. Refer to --> [ Battery Charger 5900 ] Battery Charger 5900.
- Using INFO, set the mode of operation that corresponds with the battery.
The symbol - 1 - for "service charging of wet batteries" or the symbol - 2 - for "service charging of Gel/Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries" is indicated in the display.
- Set the capacity (Ah) of the battery to be charged with the corresponding button "Up" [Up Arrow] or "Down" [Down Arrow].
- Clamp the red charging clamp "+" to the positive battery terminal.
- Clamp the black charging clamp "-" to the negative battery terminal.
- Press the START / STOP for approximately 5 seconds. The menu selection "Charging severely discharged batteries/Support mode " is activated.
- Press corresponding button "Up" [Up Arrow] or " Down" [Down Arrow], to set respective battery voltage (6 V, 12 V or 24 V).
• If no button is touched within 5 seconds, the charger will return to the main menu (operation mode selection).
- Confirm the selected battery voltage by pressing START / STOP.
Then the inquiry about the correct polarity of the charger clamps is made.
- Verify that the charger clamps are connected to the correct polarity.
- Confirm that the charger clamps are connected to the correct polarity by pressing START / STOP.
The charger begins charging the severely discharged battery.
End battery charging process:
- Press START / STOP.
- Remove the black charging clamp "-" of the charger from the negative battery terminal.
- Remove the red charging clamp "+" of the charger from the positive battery terminal.
- Pull out the electrical system connector of the charger.
Support Mode with Battery Charger
The support mode provides the vehicle electrical system with voltage with the battery is removed or disconnected.
For more information, refer to VAS 5903 Operating Instructions.
The support mode is used for the following situations:
• Vehicle electrical system support mode with the battery not installed
• Maintaining the voltage when the battery is being replaced
• Testing without the battery
CAUTION!
Risk of injury. Observe warning notes and safety precautions. Refer to --> [ Battery Safety Precautions ] Battery Safety Precautions!
CAUTION!
Batteries that have a colorless or light yellow visual indicator must not be tested or charged. Jump starting must not be used!
There is a risk of explosion during testing, charging or jump starting.
These batteries must be replaced.
- Turn off the ignition and all electrical consumers.
CAUTION!
• The polarity protection of the charger clamps is not active in the operation mode "charging severely batteries/Support mode". Connect the charger clamps to the battery terminals correctly according to polarity!
