Einhell CE-BC 1M
12V, 6V, 1 A
Question about Einhell CE-BC 1M
I need the device to install it permanently in the vehicle. Therefore the question, if I have set it to 12V battery once - disconnect the charger from the 230V mains and then reconnect it to the 230V mains - has the device memorised that I had selected 12V? because I plan to install this device in an inaccessible place. Many thanks for the answer.
I bought one of these some time ago.
As far as I know, the setting remains the same. I have only used it for 12V batteries and don't remember having to reset the volts.
The instructions (see internet) say the following:
Note on automatic charging
The charger is a microprocessor-controlled automatic charger, i.e. it is particularly suitable for charging
for charging maintenance-free batteries and
for long-term charging and for maintaining the charge of
batteries that are not in constant use, e.g. for vintage cars, leisure vehicles, tractor lawn mowers and the like. Due to the
integrated microprocessor, charging takes place in
several stages. The last charging stage, the trickle charge, keeps the battery capacity at 95 -
100 % and therefore the battery is always fully charged.
The charging process does not need to be monitored.
However, do not leave the battery unattended when charging over a longer period of time,
so that you can disconnect the charger from the
disconnect the charger from the mains supply manually in the event of a fault.

existing battery voltage (6V or 12V).
can be set. Depending on the selection, the
6V or 12V LED flashes quickly. During charging
the corresponding LED flashes slowly.
5.3 Charging the battery:
- Loosen or remove the battery plugs (if present) from the battery.
- Check the acid level of your battery.
If necessary, fill with distilled water
(if possible). Caution! Battery acid is
corrosive. Rinse acid splashes immediately with plenty of water
thoroughly, consult a doctor if necessary.
- First connect the red charging cable
to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Then connect the black charging cable
away from the battery and the petrol line
to the bodywork. Depending on the
set battery voltage, the 6V or 12V LED flashes
or 12V LED flashes slowly.
5.4 Fault LED (fig. 2 / item C)
The error LED flashes (lights up) in the following cases
cases:
- If you select the wrong charging voltage (12V) for a 6V battery
selected the wrong charging voltage (12V).
The device fully charges the 6V battery and
then automatically recognises the incorrect
incorrectly selected charging voltage.
- If the battery voltage is less than 3.5 V
or greater than 15 V. The battery is not suitable for
suitable for charging or defective. Other
battery faults can also mean that the battery
battery cannot be charged.
