A slide switch on the front panel selects the appropriate voltage for your battery type, and a pair of spring-loaded crocodile clips on a fixed 1.8m cable attach directly to the battery terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for trickle-charging small lead acid batteries in motorbikes, garden machinery, mobility scooters, alarm systems and backup power applications, the Mercury incorporates polarity reverse protection and a poly-switch that cuts current in the event of a short circuit or over-current condition. This prevents damage to the battery during charging. Green and red LEDs on the front panel indicate charging status and polarity connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe charger accepts 100-240V AC mains input at 50\/60Hz, making it suitable for use across different regions without a step-down transformer. The compact 82 x 56 x 80mm casing weighs 125g and the fixed 1.8m lead gives working distance from a wall socket to the battery being charged. The crocodile clips are colour-coded red and black for positive and negative terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC100-240V @ 60\/50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax. current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\/6\/12V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLead length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82 x 56 x 80mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/690004UK.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat battery types can this charger be used with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis charger is designed specifically for 2V, 6V or 12V lead acid batteries only. It is not compatible with lithium-ion, NiMH, NiCd or other battery chemistries. Select the correct voltage on the front panel switch to match your battery's rated voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take to charge a flat battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharging time depends on the battery capacity. At 600mA maximum output, a completely flat 7Ah 12V battery would take approximately 12-14 hours to reach full charge. Smaller capacity batteries charge faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do the LEDs indicate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe green LED illuminates when the charger is connected and charging normally.
