4.1. Control Panel Indicators
- KUASA: Menyala apabila pengecas disambungkan kepada kuasa AC.
- Butang MOD: Press to cycle through available charging modes (6V, 12V, 24V, COLD TEMP, AGM/REFRESH).
- Voltage Indicators (6V, 12V, 24V): Indicate the currently selected charging voltage.
- Special Mode Indicators (COLD TEMP, AGM/REFRESH): Indicate activation of specific charging programs.
- Charge Progress Indicators (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%): Show the approximate charge level of the battery.
- FAKTA: Illuminates if an error occurs (e.g., reverse polarity, short circuit, damaged battery).
5. Persediaan
Follow these steps to prepare your Voltcraft BC-10 for charging.
- Letakkan Pengecas: Place the charger on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Ensure good ventilation.
- Sambungkan Bateri Clamps:
- Sambungkan merah (+) clamp kepada positif (+) terminal bateri.
- Sambungkan hitam (-) clamp kepada negatif (-) terminal bateri.
Ensure a secure connection. Incorrect polarity will trigger the FAULT indicator.
- Sambungkan Kuasa AC: Plug the AC power cable into a standard wall outlet. The POWER indicator on the charger will illuminate.

6. Arahan Operasi
Once the charger is set up, follow these steps to begin charging your battery.
- Pilih Mod Pengecasan: Tekan ke MODE button repeatedly to cycle through the available charging programs until the desired voltage (6V, 12V, or 24V) and any special modes (COLD TEMP, AGM/REFRESH) are selected. The corresponding LED indicators will light up.
- Pantau Kemajuan Pengecasan: The 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% LEDs will illuminate sequentially to indicate the battery's charge level.
- Pengecasan Selesai: When the 100% LED is steadily lit, the battery is fully charged. The charger will automatically switch to a maintenance (float) charge mode to prevent overcharging.
- Memutuskan Sambungan Pengecas:
- First, unplug the AC power cable from the wall outlet.
- Then, disconnect the black (-) clamp from the battery's negative terminal.
- Finally, disconnect the red (+) clamp from the battery's positive terminal.
6.1. Special Charging Modes
- COLD TEMP: Use this mode when charging batteries in cold environments (below 5°C / 41°F). This mode adjusts the charging voltage to compensate for temperature effects.
- AGM/REFRESH: This mode is suitable for AGM batteries and can also be used for reconditioning deeply discharged or sulfated batteries. Consult your battery manufacturer's recommendations before using the refresh function.
7. Penyelenggaraan
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your charger.
- Pembersihan: Disconnect the charger from all power sources before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storan: Simpan pengecas di tempat yang sejuk dan kering apabila tidak digunakan. Pastikan kabel digulung dengan kemas untuk mengelakkan kerosakan.
- Pemeriksaan Kabel: Regularly inspect the AC power cable and battery clamp cables for any signs of damage, such as cuts or fraying. Do not use the charger if cables are damaged.
