## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the car battery ( Toyota Aygo ) have to be disconnected before using this charger ?**
A: No, you have to connect the +(Red) to the battery and the -(black) to an earth point. This is usually shown in your manual.

**Q: Do you have to disconnect vehicle battery before connecting charger ?vehicle in question is a 2014 vw passat 1.6 diesel**
A: No you don’t. We wired a plug to the battery for quick connection and disconnection.

**Q: can you charge from the convenient jump start connections under the bonnet to charge battery as my battery is in the boot**
A: The under bonnet charging points are not just for jump starting.BMW recommend them as the connecting point for charging.Just connect the red positive first and then the black negative BEFORE you switch the charger on.When charged,switch the charger off and disconnect the black negative first,followed by the red positive.

**Q: Does the charger start to work as soon as its plugged in, or do you have to select rhe correct program each time before it will start?**
A: When connected you should select as the options are 12v, 6v, car, motorcycle, summer, winter. I have found if it is connected with no selection it usually detects 12v and car on its own but it is always safest to make sure it is on the correct setting. When I had a serious electrical problem the charger shut itself down and gave an error code so it is obviously of good quality with good fault detection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality product

Does the job perfectly. Good price too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Charger But Lacking In Options Disappointing & Risky
*by A***M on 1 December 2022*

The RSC808 is an okay charger and the price is decent but the lack in options and features is disappointing although it's easy to use it's too dumb to be a proper smart charger (still more trust worthy than the chinese chargers though). A big problem is you only have a single button that toggles through the modes. I bought the 8V option which has: 12V Car, 12V Car (Winter), 12V Truck, 12V Truck (Winter), 24V Truck, and 24V Truck (Winter). I feel these modes and display icons are deceptively dangerous because what they mean isn't really true or self explanatory and what this actually means as per the user manual is: 12V up to max 14.6V at 4A, 12V up to max 14.8V at 4A, 12V up to 14.6V at 8A, 12V up to max 14.8V at 8A, 24V up to max 28.8V at 4A, and 24V up to max 29.0V at 4A. As you can see from the electrical info above this means that the more expensive 8A charger can charge 8A or 4A only with no option to charge between 4 to 8 amps. After an email discussing this with Ring Automotive they say you can use any of the 12V modes to charge a 12V battery (the icons of trucks and cars mean nothing really and I would of rather hand amp info instead on the display) but you must not exceed 10% of the amp hour rating of the battery otherwise this may cause battery damage, for example if you have a 40Ah battery do not charge with more more than 4 amps (disappointing none of this is stated in the user manual either). After that discussion this made me realise that the more expensive stronger 8A RSC808 charger is only able to charge high Ah batteries and low Ah batteries effectively, meanwhile the more common 50Ah to 70Ahcar batteries are outside of the safe spec for charging at 8A and too big for the lower 4A charge option. Which will result in the RSC808 charging several hours longer than the 6A version (RSC806) which in "car mode" charges at 6A Vs the 4A of its bigger brother (RSC808). Some other concerns are that the power cable on the RSC808 is very short (maybe 1.5 meters if I guess) meaning reaching an extension lead or wall socket from a larger vehicle like an SUV is a problem. I had an extension lead and I could barely reach it on the ground (this is also a safety concern since it means it's difficult to keep distance from the battery upon introducing electricity in case in the off chance the battery malfunctions and blows up). Also the single button function is honestly silly since you use this button to toggle the modes and after sitting on a mode for a few seconds it turns on the charger, I would of rather seen an on/off button for confirmation and powering off. Another issue is with the Error modes it appears ER1 means the charger has detected reverse polarity of the terminals (which is good) but ER2 seems to show if the battery voltage is too low to be detected (this could potentially happen on a non-defective battery that has been sitting for a very long period of time) it would of been nice if these was an override button to force charging in this instance (even for a short burst) so as to charge the battery enough for the charger to begin recognising it. Without this it I would need to either use a non-smart charger or jump start the vehicle for a little while before I could use this Ring charger which is disappointing.
