ABORTED CHARGE

If charging cannot be completed normally, 

charging will abort. When charging aborts, the 

charger’s output is shut off and the 

CHARGING 

 (yellow/orange) LED will 

flash. 

The digital display will show an error 

code (see the Troubleshooting section for a 

description of the error codes). To reset after 

an aborted charge, unplug the charger from 

the AC outlet, wait a few moments and then 

plug it back in.

DESULFATION MODE

Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours. 

 

If desulfation fails, charging will abort and 

the CHARGING 

 (yellow/orange) LED 

will flash.

COMPLETION OF CHARGE

Charge completion is indicated by the 

CHARGED/MAINTAINING 

 (green) 

LED. When pulsing, 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. 

MAINTAINING A BATTERY

The XC75-CA, XC75W-CA, XC103-CA and 

XC103W-CA charge and maintain both 6 

and 12 volt batteries.

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 required.

USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE

Your battery charger can be used to jump 

start your car if the battery is low. Follow all 

safety instructions and precautions for 

charging your battery. Wear complete eye 

protection and protective clothing. 

WARNING:

 Using the ENGINE START 

feature WITHOUT a battery installed in the 

vehicle could cause damage to the vehicle’s 

electrical system. 

NOTE:

 If you have charged the battery and 

it still will not start your car, do not use the 

Engine Start feature, or it could damage the 

vehicle’s electrical system. Have the battery 

checked.

1. 

With the charger unplugged from the 

AC outlet, connect the charger to the 

battery following the instructions given 

in the CHARGING A BATTERY IN THE 

VEHICLE

 

section.

2. 

Plug the charger AC power cord into the 

AC outlet.

3. 

With the charger plugged in and 

connected to the battery and chassis, 

press the RATE SELECTION button until 

the ENGINE START LED is lit. 

4. 

Crank the engine until it starts or 3 seconds 

pass. If the engine does not start, wait 3 

minutes before cranking again. This allows 

the charger and battery to cool down.

NOTE: 

During extremely cold weather, or if 

the battery is under 2 volts, charge the battery 

for 5 minutes before cranking the engine.

5. 

If the engine fails to start, charge the 

battery for 5 more minutes before 

attempting to crank the engine again.

6. 

After the engine starts, unplug the AC 

power cord before disconnecting the 

battery clamps from the vehicle.

7. 

Clean and store the charger in a dry 

location.

NOTE:

 If the engine does turn over but 

never starts, there is not a problem with the 

starting system; there is a problem 

somewhere else with the vehicle. STOP 

cranking the engine until the other problem 

has been diagnosed and corrected.

ENGINE STARTING NOTES

During the starting sequence listed above, 

the charger is set to one of three states:

•  Wait for cranking –

 The charger waits until 

the engine is actually being cranked before 

delivering the amps for engine start and will 

reset if the engine is not cranked within 15 

minutes. (If the charger resets, it sets itself to 

the default start up settings). While waiting for 

cranking, the digital display shows 

rdy

.

•  Cranking – 

When cranking is detected, the 

charger will automatically deliver up to its 

maximum output as required by the starting 

system for up to 3 seconds or until the engine 

cranking stops. The digital display shows a 

countdown of the remaining crank time. 

•  Cool Down –

 After cranking, the charger 

enters a mandatory 3 minute (180 second) 

cool down state. The digital display indicates 

the remaining cool down time in seconds. It 

starts at 180 and counts down to 0. After 3 

minutes, the digital display will change from 

displaying the countdown to displaying 

rdy

The CHARGING LED   will then be lit.
