CHARGING
3
Charger Operation:
Intitialization:
Red Light On, Green Light Off:
Monitor Circuit verifies
appropriate battery voltage levels and good electrical continuity.
Bulk Charge:
Red Light On, Green Light Off:
Constant Current at Full
Power. Switch to Absorption at 75%-80% full recharge.
Absorption Charge:
Red Light On, Green Light Flashing:
Constant
Voltage at Absorption Level. This conditions the battery for maximum
performance. Transition to Float Maintenance either by charge current
threshold or fixed absorption timer.
Float Charge:
Red Light Off, Green Light On:
Constant Voltage at
Float/Maintenance Level. Keeps battery fully charged and maintains
optimum specific gravity. Charge reset monitor protects battery against
deep discharge from excessive appliance current draw
.
Indicator Light Operation:
Red:
When the red light is On, the charger is functioning normally
and it is in the process of fully charging the battery. The charger will
automatically apply the optimum charging voltage and current values to
the battery in the proper timing sequence.
Green:
When the green light is On and the red light is Off, the battery
charger is in the storage/float/maintenance mode of operation. In this
mode the charger will maintain the battery at optimum voltage levels to
maintain full charge.
Flashing Green:
When the green light is flashing and the red light is On,
the battery is approximately 80% charged. Do not use the battery until
the green light stops flashing, indicating that the battery is fully charged.
Red and Green Alternating:
This is an abnormal indication. Check
all connections between the charger and the battery. If this condition
persists, contact technical support for assistance.
NOTE: FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARGER AND
TROUBLESHOOTING, PLEASE REFER TO THE BATTERY TENDER
MANUAL PROVIDED WITH YOUR MACHINE.
