Operation
1) Plug the charger into a single phase AC socket with a nominal voltage rating of 100V,
110V, 115V, 120V, 220V, 230V, or 240V and a frequency rating of 50 or 60Hz. The
charger automatically senses and adjusts to the AC voltage and frequency.
2) The three green LED’s indicate the charging progress. When the battery is 0 to 50%
charged the 50% LED flashes. When the battery is between 50 to 75% charged the 50%
LED is on while the 75% LED flashes. When the battery is between 75 to 100% charged
the 75% LED is on and the 100% LED flashes. When the battery is fully charged the 50%,
75% and 100% LEDs are on. Charging time is dependent on depth of battery discharge,
battery condition, and temperature.
3) If the charger is left plugged in after charging is complete (all LEDs on) the charger goes
into maintenance mode to keep batteries charged while in storage. The charger
continuously measures battery voltage and restarts the charging cycle if the battery
voltage drops below about 25V. This keeps batteries charged while in storage but does
not boil-out the electrolyte over time.
4) Turn-off charger by unplugging (disconnect from AC voltage).
WARNING: There could be a spark during charging. Be careful when using fuels,
solvents or other flammables near the charger or batteries. An explosion may result
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of an electric shock, connect only to a properly
grounded single phase (3wire) outlet. Electric shock hazard may cause serious
injury or death.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use this charger only on AC circuits and
extension cords capable of handling the AC Input currents (Max. Amps) defined in the
electrical specifications. Use must be in accordance with all National and Local
Electrical Codes for the location of use. Overloaded cords or circuits present a fire
and shock hazard and may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
