Times are based on a 50% discharged battery and may
change, depending on age and condition of battery.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain
mode automatically after the battery is charged.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the CHARGED/MAINTAINING (green) LED.
When lit, the charger has switched to the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE (FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the CHARGED/MAINTAINING (green) LED is lit, the charger has
started maintain mode. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged
by delivering a small current when necessary. If the charger has to provide its
maximum maintain current for a continuous 12 hour period, it will go into abort
mode (see Aborted Charge section). This is usually caused by a drain on the battery
or the battery could be bad. Make sure there are no loads on the battery. If there
are, remove them. If there are none, have the battery checked or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
This unit maintains both 6 and 12 volt batteries, keeping them at full charge. It is not
recommended for industrial applications.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology allows you to safely charge and maintain a
healthy battery for extended periods of time. However, problems with the battery,
electrical problems in the vehicle, improper connections or other unanticipated
conditions could cause excessive current draws. As such, occasionally monitoring
your battery and the charging process is recommended.
