4. Configuración y conexión
Follow these steps to safely connect the GYSFLASH 12.12 charger to your battery:
- Prepare la batería: Asegúrese de que los terminales de la batería estén limpios y sin corrosión. Si carga la batería de un vehículo, asegúrese de que el encendido esté apagado y todos los accesorios desconectados.
- Conectar a la batería:
- Conectar el rojo (+) cargador clamp/terminal to the positivo (+) terminal de la batería.
- Conectar el negro (-) cargador clamp/terminal to the negativo (-) terminal de la batería.
- For in-vehicle batteries, if the battery is not grounded to the chassis, connect the black (-) clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal. If the battery is grounded to the chassis, connect the black (-) clamp al chasis del vehículo, lejos de la batería y la línea de combustible.
- Conectarse a la energía: Plug the charger's AC power cable into a standard electrical outlet. The charger will power on.
- Seleccionar modo: Press the mode selection button to choose the appropriate charging mode (see Section 5).
To disconnect, first unplug the charger from the AC outlet, then disconnect the black (-) clamp, seguido del signo rojo (+) clamp.

5. Modos de funcionamiento
The GYSFLASH 12.12 offers several operating modes to optimize charging for different battery types and conditions. Use the mode selection button to cycle through these options.
- Normal Charge Mode: Standard charging for most 12V lead-acid batteries (WET, MF, Ca/Ca, GEL).
- Modo AGM: Specifically designed for cold weather charging (below 5°C) and for Start & Stop batteries (EFB & AGM types). This mode adjusts charging parameters for these specific conditions.
- Modo de actualización: Used to recover deeply discharged batteries. This mode attempts to recondition batteries that have been left discharged for extended periods.
- Modo de suministro: Transforms the charger into a stabilized power supply. This mode is useful for:
- Maintaining battery health during vehicle demonstrations in showrooms.
- Preserving vehicle memory settings (e.g., radio codes, ECU data) during battery replacement.
The charger also features an Optimized Maintenance Charge, allowing it to remain plugged in indefinitely during winter months to maintain battery health without overcharging.

The GYSFLASH 12.12 utilizes an advanced 8-step charging curve to ensure efficient, safe, and complete charging, maximizing battery lifespan and performance. The external temperature sensor automatically adjusts this curve based on ambient conditions.
- Análisis: Assesses battery condition and initial charge level.
- Recuperación: Initiates a gentle charge for deeply discharged batteries (SOS Recovery for batteries >2V).
- Prueba: Checks battery's ability to accept charge.
- Desulfatación: Applies a pulsed charge to break down lead sulfate crystals, restoring battery capacity.
- Cargar: Bulk charging phase, delivering maximum current until the battery reaches approximately 80% capacity.
- Absorción: Reduce gradualmente la corriente mientras mantiene el volumen.tage para cargar la batería al 100%.
- Refrescar: (If selected or needed) Further reconditions the battery.
- Cargo flotante: Mantiene la batería con carga completa con un volumen bajo y constante.tage, preventing self-discharge.

7. Mantenimiento
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your GYSFLASH 12.12 charger and the batteries it charges.
- Cuidado del cargador:
- Mantenga el cargador limpio y seco. Límpielo con un paño suave.amp tela. No utilice disolventes.
