Product Information
Full details
The Sealey SUPERSTART950E is a versatile battery starter and charger designed for automotive professionals and serious DIYers. It offers robust jump-starting capabilities for 12/24V vehicles and comprehensive charging for 6V, 12V, and 24V systems, including various battery types like VRLA, GEL, AGM/EFB, Leisure, and Lithium (12V only). Its primary benefit is the advanced microprocessor-controlled charging, ensuring optimal battery health and longevity through multiple analysis and charge phases. A key consideration is its 750Ah battery charging range, which may be overkill for very small batteries, and the absence of a specific setting for standard flooded lead-acid batteries, though it can manage them within the general charge cycles.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this charger be used for 6V batteries?
Yes, the Sealey SUPERSTART950E is designed to charge 6V, 12V, and 24V electrical systems.
What types of batteries can it charge?
It can charge VRLA, GEL, AGM/EFB, Leisure, and 12V Lithium batteries. Standard flooded lead-acid batteries can also be charged within its general cycles.
How do I connect the clamps for jump-starting?
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery and the black clamp to a suitable grounding point on the vehicle's chassis or engine block, away from the battery.
What is the maximum battery capacity it can charge?
The charger is suitable for battery charging ranges up to 750Ah.
Does it protect against incorrect connections?
Yes, it features reverse polarity, short circuit, overcharge, overheat, and overcurrent protection systems.
What is the BSU mode used for?
BSU mode provides stable power support to the battery during prolonged electronic diagnostic checks on a vehicle.
Can it charge motorcycle batteries?
Yes, if the motorcycle battery is a 6V or 12V type within the supported chemistries and capacity range (up to 750Ah).
Is there a specific mode for Lithium batteries?
Yes, it supports 12V Lithium batteries, utilizing specific charging phases suitable for this chemistry.
Troubleshooting
Charger does not power on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the charger. Ensure the main switch is in the 'ON' position.
Charger indicates 'Reverse Polarity'
Disconnect the clamps from the battery and power source immediately. Reconnect the clamps ensuring the red clamp is on the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp is on a suitable ground point.
Poor charging performance
Verify the selected voltage matches the battery. Ensure battery terminals are clean and connections are secure. Check if the battery's capacity is within the charger's range (up to 750Ah).
Unit overheats during use
Ensure the charger's ventilation slots are clear and not obstructed. Allow the unit to cool down before continuing. Avoid operating in direct sunlight or excessively hot environments.
Jump-start fails to start the engine
Ensure correct voltage selection (12V or 24V). Verify clamp connections are firm and on appropriate terminals/ground. Check that the vehicle battery is not completely dead; try charging it first. Ensure the engine is in neutral/park and the brake is applied.
