5.8.4. Effective Charge
A few moments into the effective charge, the display will begin alternating
between the following charging information:
5.8.5. End of Charge without Equalization
The green complete LED comes on after proper end of charge. The green
complete LED is on and the display shows AVAIL. The display alternates
between:
•
Total charging time
•
Amp/hrs restored to the battery
Any other lit LED indicates a problem during charging. Please refer to
