EQUALIZATION:
When using multiple batteries in a series string, cells become
uneven during charge and discharge cycles. At least once a month
perform two charge cycles back to back, this will give a chance for
cells that are lagging behind to catch up, and is important to overall
battery performance. NOTE: This only needs to be done when
charging wet cell, or AGM batteries. Disregard if charging Lithium
batteries, or using the constant voltage setting.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom
Cause
Corrective Action
When plugged into AC
power the LED flashes
red/green.
Connected reverse to
battery, or not connected
to battery.
Break in DC cord, or
connector.
Battery too dead to
charge.
Correct polarity, or
connect to battery.
Have a qualified person
make repair.
Replace.
When plugged into AC
power the LED does not
come on.
No AC power.
Check circuit.
Check extension cord
for breaks or damage.
When I put a volt meter
across the output of the
charger there is no
power coming out when
I plug it in.
The charger must be
connected to a battery to
turn on.
The batteries don’t
receive a full charge. On
wet cells, the specific
gravity will not rise to a
full reading after the
charge has completed.
The charger is too small
for the battery.
The charge profile is not
set correctly.
The cycle needs more
time.
Check that the charger’s
output is about 10% of
the amp hour rating of
the battery.
Recheck the dip switch
setting. If in doubt,
contact us.
Switch, #1 switch ON.
