11.2 On-Board Charger Operation
If the charger was configured for on-board use, follow these operating instructions:
1. Ensure that the vehicle/equipment that the charger is mounted on is turned off.
2. With the charger AC power cord disconnected from the AC outlet, connect the charger DC output
connector/plug to the battery connector/receptacle (most likely already connected or hard wired).
3. Connect the charger AC power cord to an appropriate live AC outlet which is indicated by the blue "AC
PRESENT" LED turning on. The charger will start automatically as indicated by the yellow "CHARGE
STATUS" LED beginning to blink slowly.
4. If the charger must be disconnected from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress, disconnect the
AC power cord from the AC outlet. Do not disconnect the charger DC output connector/plug from the
battery while a charge cycle is in progress.
5. The charge cycle 80% point is indicated by the yellow LED beginning to blink quickly.
6. The Finish charge cycle phase is indicated by the solid illumination of the yellow LED. Not all charge
profiles include a Finish phase.
7. An extended Balance/Equalize charge cycle phase is indicated by the green "CHARGE COMPLETE"
LED beginning to blink quickly. Not all charge profiles include a Balance/Equalize phase.
8. The charger automatically terminates the charge cycle when a battery reaches full charge, which is
indicated by [1] the solid illumination of the green LED or [2] the green LED beginning to blink slowly
indicating a post-charge phase. The required charge time is affected by numerous factors, including
battery amp-hour capacity, depth of discharge, battery temperature, and battery age/usage.
9. Before operating the vehicle/equipment, disconnect the charger AC power cord from the outlet.
11.3 Storage Mode Operation
1. Storage Mode is designed to keep your battery maintained during storage periods that last a few weeks
to several months at a time.
2. Depending on the battery type, the battery profile, and system profile selected, a storage charge can be a
continuous float or a periodic charge mode.
3. Do NOT disconnect the charger from the battery or from the AC power until your machine is needed for
use. Disconnecting and reconnecting the charger from the batteries or AC power may start a charge
cycle, but disconnection disrupts the storage mode so optimum battery maintenance is not achieved.
4. After several months of storage your batteries should be serviced and the charger reset by disconnecting
the DC for Off-Board or the AC for On-Board applications (disconnect AC for a minimum of 10 minutes)
before continuing another storage season.
