This situation can occur when the battery is in a deep discharged state (under 9volts).
If all three LED lights remain illuminated after several hours when first connected, please
consult an Auto Electrician to have your battery tested as there could be a fault with the
battery.
OVERLOAD
Prolonged charging of deep discharged batteries or attempting to charge a battery larger
than 80 amp hours can cause the charger to overheat. If this occurs, the chargers
thermal overload switch will activate. The LED meter will blink on and off in short intervals.
This cycling will not damage either the charger or the battery, however if this situation
occurs for more than 2 hours, please switch off the charger and disconnect from the
battery and wall outlet. It is advisable if this occurs whilst charging a battery less than 80
amp hours, to have your battery checked by an automotive electrician.
LOW MAINTENANCE BATTERIES
It is advisable to not overcharge a low maintenance battery. Disconnect the charger as
soon as the green LED illuminates indicating a full charge.
Low maintenance batteries are easily recognizable as they do not have removable filler
caps.
Do not attempt to recharge a sealed lead acid battery, commonly found in UPS
(uninterruptible power supplies) devices, mobility scooters, alarm systems etc. This
charger is not designed for these types of batteries.
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
– Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous due to the
emission of explosive gases. A spark, cigarette or naked flame such as lighter or matches
can ignite these explosive gases. Care should always be taken.
•
keep all naked flames and potential sparks away from the battery at all
times
•
Never smoke or light a cigarette near a battery
•
Extreme care is required when handling metal objects and tools such as
jewellery, rings or watches. When a metal object touches a battery
terminal it may cause sparks or serious heat burns to the user or wearer
of the object and those around them
•
Never place tools on or around the battery in case they move and come
into contact with the top of the battery
