Battery Fault
– A few seconds after switching on to the operating mode, the FAIL LED
indicator, and LCD Fail icon will illuminate if the following occurs:
A. Battery voltage >15V
B. Softstart charging voltage between 5-8V after 1 minute and 8-10V after 9 hours
charging. (To detect improper battery type, such as 6V or 24V, the charger is appli-
cable for 12V battery ONLY.)
C. Improper connection of Charger and battery polarity
D. Charging stopped under “Desulphation” or “ Adsorption” mode, then press
“MODE” button could resume to charging, if still have the same problem, maybe
caused by:
1. Battery is over-sulphated
2. Battery cannot be charged
3. Battery cannot hold the charge
Under these conditions, the battery charger will stop charging. In the event of point A,
B or D the battery may be defective and we advise you to consult your nearest battery
service centre. If the problem is attributable to C, please ensure proper polarity then start
to charge.
When the Stage 8 icon
and Full
illuminates, the battery is completely
charged. The battery charger now switches to the Float mode and doesn’t require your
attention until the next time it is used, it will automatically maintain your battery.
If LCD stage 9
icon illuminates, it indicates that the charger has automatically main-
tained your battery.
4. When charging is complete
Switch off the mains supply, unplug the charger, and disconnect the leads from the bat-
tery posts. Inspect the liquid levels in each cell and top up, using the correct fluid, if nec-
essary. Replace the caps. Any surplus fluid around the cell tops should be wiped off (this
should be done with extreme care as it may be acidic/corrosive).
