1

What is the warranty period and what does it cover?

The charger comes with a full 12-month warranty from the date of purchase against all manufacturing defects. The warranty covers defects in design or manufacture that cause the product to fail to perform as described, with the company choosing to either repair or replace the product at their discretion. The warranty does not cover damage from improper use, faulty installation, or modification made during installation. (Page 8)

2

What does the red Fault LED flashing with no other LEDs on mean?

If only the Fault LED is quick flashing and all other LEDs are off, this indicates an over-temperature condition. You should let the unit cool down for some time or improve ventilation around the unit. A minimum air gap of 150mm around the unit is required. (Page 4)

3

What does it mean when the Fault LED and Solar LED are both quick flashing?

If both the Solar (Green) and Fault (Red) LEDs are quick flashing simultaneously with no other LEDs active, this indicates high voltage has been detected at the solar input. You should check the solar input voltage to resolve this issue. (Page 4)

4

How should the temperature sensor be connected?

The temperature sensor (thin black wire) should be connected to the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery for the best and most accurate temperature reading. If the sensor cannot reach the terminal, it can be affixed to the battery case itself using a small amount of removable adhesive. (Page 6)

5

What happens when LiFePO4 battery mode is selected?

When LiFePO4 battery setting is selected, the charger automatically activates a lithium 'wake' feature, sending out a pulse of power every minute. If a battery is detected, charging will continue; if no battery or a short circuit is detected, the charger will switch to standby mode. (Page 7)

6

What battery types are compatible with the Kings DCDC25A charger?

The charger is compatible with Lead Acid, AGM, Calcium, LiFePO4, and GEL battery types. For the 25A model, the recommended battery capacity is 60–250 Ah. For other Lithium-Ion batteries not listed, you should refer to the 'Charging Voltage Limits' section to confirm if the charging voltage is applicable. (Page 2)

    6. Wiring Guide

    Temp sensor Plug 2 Plug 3 Ignition Plug 1 PLUG 1 (Red and Black wires)
  • The OUTPUT (Red) is connected to the positive pole of the auxiliary battery.
  • The GROUND (Black) is connected to the negative pole (-) of the auxiliary battery.
    • PLUG 2 (Yellow and Black wires)
  • The ALTERNATOR (Yellow) is connected to the positive (+) pole of the starter battery.
    • 4a. The GROUND (Black) is connected to the negative pole (-) of the starter battery. 4b. For vehicles with a smart alternator the black cable must be connected to where the negative cable from the start battery is connected to the chassis. PLUG 3 (Green and Black wires)
  • The SOLAR (Green) is connected to the positive pole (+) of the solar panel (if fitted).
  • The GROUND (Black) is connected to the negative pole (-) of the solar panel.
    • If a solar panel is not fitted, leave PLUG 3 disconnected.
  • The IGNITION (Blue) affects the cut in / cut out point of the charger and should be connected to a 12V
    • positive (+) ignition power source. A 12V (+) ignition source is a power source that has 12V+ when the vehicle is ‘ON’ and no power when the vehicle is ‘OFF’. Depending on the vehicle this can be sourced from the fuse box or an accessory socket.
  • The TEMP SENSOR (Thin Black) Should be connected to the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery for
    • the best and most accurate temperature reading. NOTE: If it cannot reach the terminal, the sensor can be affixed to the battery case itself - using a small amount of removable adhesive. In order to prevent accidental short circuit during installation, it is recommended to turn off the car during the installation and the negative pole of the starter battery should be disconnected. Please note that disconnecting the negative of the main battery may reset some memory functions in the vehicle and the vehicles head unit or other functions may need a reset code once power is restored, check your vehicles manual or manufacturer for further details.

    7. Operation

  • To change battery type, press and hold the ‘MODE’ button for 2 seconds then release to cycle through
    • and select different battery types.
  • Every 2 minutes the unit stops charging and measures auxiliary/second battery voltage for 2 seconds.
    • This is normal operation and offers precise charging. This can mean once the unit is connected, it may take up to 2 minutes to start charging.
  • If LiFePO4 battery setting is selected the charger automatically features a lithium ‘wake’ feature - when
    • connected the charger will send out a pulse of power every minute - if it detects a battery, charging will continue. If no battery is detected or a short circuit is detected, the Charger will change to standby mode.
  • Restore the negative connection of the battery. Confirm the charger begins to operate properly. If anomalies
    • occur, disconnect the negative battery connection and check / confirm all other connections are correct before starting again.
