User’s Manual
10.2 On-Board Charger Operation
If the charger was factory-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 AC outlet. The charger will start automatically,
which is indicated by the Charge Status (yellow) 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 Charge Status (yellow) LED beginning to blink
quickly.
6.
The Finish charge cycle phase is indicated by the solid illumination of the Charge Status (yellow)
LED. Not all charge profiles include a Finish phase.
7.
An extended Balance/Equalize charge cycle phase is indicated by the Charge Complete (green)
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 Charge Complete (green) LED or [2] the Charge
Complete (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.
Disconnect the charger AC power cord from the outlet before operating the vehicle/equipment.
10.3 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, 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 while your machine is not
being used 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..
