4. Configurare și conectare
Follow these steps to safely connect the GYSFLASH 12.12 charger to your battery:
- Pregătiți bateria: 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.
- Conectați la baterie:
- Conectați roșu (+) charger clamp/terminal to the pozitiv (+) borna bateriei.
- Conectați negru (-) charger clamp/terminal to the negativ (-) borna bateriei.
- 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 to the vehicle chassis away from the battery and fuel line.
- Conectare la alimentare: Plug the charger's AC power cable into a standard electrical outlet. The charger will power on.
- Selectați modul: 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, urmat de cl-ul roșu (+)amp.
5. Moduri de operare
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).
- Modul AGM: 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.
- Mod de reîmprospătare: Used to recover deeply discharged batteries. This mode attempts to recondition batteries that have been left discharged for extended periods.
- Mod de alimentare: 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.
- Analiză: Assesses battery condition and initial charge level.
- Recuperare: Initiates a gentle charge for deeply discharged batteries (SOS Recovery for batteries >2V).
- Test: Checks battery's ability to accept charge.
- Desulfatare: Applies a pulsed charge to break down lead sulfate crystals, restoring battery capacity.
- Încărca: Bulk charging phase, delivering maximum current until the battery reaches approximately 80% capacity.
- Absorbţie: Gradually reduces current while maintaining voltage to bring the battery to 100% charge.
- Reîmprospăta: (If selected or needed) Further reconditions the battery.
- Taxă flotantă: Maintains the battery at full charge with a low, constant voltage, preventing self-discharge.
7. Întreținere
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your GYSFLASH 12.12 charger and the batteries it charges.
- Îngrijire încărcător:

- Depozitați încărcătorul într-un loc răcoros și uscat atunci când nu îl utilizați.
- Inspectați cablurile și cl-urileamps regularly for damage. Replace if necessary.
- Îngrijirea bateriei:
- Asigurați-vă că bornele bateriei sunt curate și fără urme de coroziune.
- For conventional lead-acid batteries, check electrolyte levels periodically and top up with distilled water if needed (do not overfill).
- For optimal battery health, use the maintenance charge feature during long periods of inactivity.
8. Depanare
If you encounter issues with your GYSFLASH 12.12, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problemă | Cauza posibila | Soluţie |
|---|---|---|
| Încărcătorul nu pornește. | No AC power; faulty power cable. | Check AC outlet and power cable connection. Try a different outlet. |
| Charging indicator not active. | Conectare incorectă a bateriei; vol. baterietage prea scăzut; mod incorect selectat. | Verify positive/negative connections. Ensure battery voltage is above 2V for recovery. Select appropriate mode. |
| Error LED illuminated. | Polarity reversal; short circuit; internal fault. | Disconnect charger, check connections for correct polarity. Inspect cables for damage. If error persists, contact support. |
| Bateria nu este complet încărcată după o perioadă lungă de timp. | Battery deeply discharged or sulfated; battery capacity too large for charger; faulty battery. | Try "Refresh" mode for deeply discharged batteries. Ensure battery capacity is within charger's range (1.2-250 Ah). Test battery condition. |
