Times are based on a 50% discharged
battery and may change, depending on
age and condition of battery.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed
normally, charging will abort.
When charging aborts, the
charger’s output is shut off and
the Charging (yellow/orange) LED
will flash.
To reset after an aborted
charge, unplug the charger from
the AC outlet, wait a few moments
and plug it back in.
DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10
hours. If desulfation fails, charging
will abort and the Charging (yellow/
orange) LED will flash.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by
the Charged/Maintaining (green)
LED. When pulsing, the charger
has switched to the maintain mode
of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the Charged/Maintaining
(green) LED is pulsing, the
charger has started maintain
mode. In this mode, the charger
keeps the battery fully charged by
delivering a small current when
necessary. If the charger has to
provide its maximum maintain
current for a continuous 12 hour
period, it will go into abort mode
(see
Aborted Charge
section). This
is usually caused by a drain on the
battery or the battery could be bad.
Make sure there are no loads on the
battery. If there are, remove them.
If there are none, have the battery
checked or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The 71323 charges and maintains
12V batteries, keeping them at
full charge.
NOTE:
The maintain mode
technology allows you to safely
charge and maintain a healthy
battery for extended periods of
time. However, problems with the
battery, electrical problems in the
vehicle, improper connections or
other unanticipated conditions
could cause excessive current
draws. As such, occasionally
monitoring your battery and the
charging process is required.
USING THE ENGINE START
SETTING
Your battery charger can be used
to jump start your car if the battery
is low. Follow all safety instructions
and precautions for charging
your battery. Wear complete eye
protection and clothing protection.
WARNING:
Using the Engine
Start setting WITHOUT a battery
installed in the vehicle will
damage the vehicle’s electrical
system.
NOTE:
If you have charged the
battery and it still will not start
your car, do not use the Engine
Start setting, or it will damage the
vehicle’s electrical system. Have
the battery checked.
1.
With the charger unplugged
from the AC outlet, connect the
charger to the battery, following
the instructions given in the
Follow These Steps When
Battery Is Installed In Vehicle
section.
2.
With the charger plugged in
and connected to the battery
of the vehicle, set the rate
selection to the Engine Start
position.
