AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to maintain mode
automatically after the battery is charged.
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. To reset after an aborted charge, unplug the charger from the AC
outlet, wait a few moments and 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
(green) LED. When
pulsing, the charger has switched to the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE (FLOAT-MODE MONITORING)
When the CHARGED
(green) LED is pulsing, 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.
