The BX60 features an automatic thermal overload switch. If the unit overheats during heavy charging or prolonged engine boosting, it will automatically shut down. Turn the power switch OFF, leave the unit plugged in so any internal cooling elements work, and wait 15–20 minutes for the breaker to automatically reset.

Plug the charger into the mains and switch it on. Look at the analog ammeter (current meter). When you first start charging, the needle should jump to a high reading. As the battery accepts the charge, the ammeter needle will gradually drop toward zero.
Charging and Completion:
The analog ammeter is your primary tool for monitoring the charging process. Here's how to read it:
Here are some of the key specifications of the Bradex BX60 battery charger:
A: Many modern "smart" chargers require a minimum voltage (usually 8–10 volts) from the battery to operate. If a battery is deeply discharged below this, the charger refuses to start. Older Bradex chargers are "dumb" but incredibly robust; they will simply "pump out the amps" regardless of how dead the battery is, making them ideal for reviving forgotten batteries.
Connect the clamp to the positive terminal of the battery.
The BX60 likely has a toggle switch for HIGH or LOW charge. The low setting is gentler and recommended for smaller batteries or for a long, slow maintenance charge. The high setting offers a faster charge but generates more heat. For a standard 65Ah battery, using the high setting (approximately 8 amps) could fully charge it from flat in about 8 hours.
Always connect the charger to the battery plugging the charger into the wall outlet.
