MXS 5. Is it safe to use this on a A class A180se auto.
I notice that the initial charge when first plugging in, ( indicator led 1) inputs
15.8V. ( Same as recon mode)
However, the MB handbooks states that a charge should not exceed 14.8V?
Whereas the mxs 7 inputs an initial charge of 14.7V.
Any advice?
 
When using the clamps, I connect the red clamp to the red positive connection point, underneath the red sliding cover, then place the black negative clamp to the earth bolt on the car body.
To disconnect, remove the black negative first, followed by the red positive.
I have the eyelets connected, just loosen the red positive bolt on the battery and position the bolt through the eyelet, I didn’t remove the terminal. Then wire the negative end to the car earth point on the car wing.
