Error: Over-Temp 

 indicates the internal temperature of the charger is outside specified 

operational limits.  Disconnect the battery.  Disconnect power from the charger and 
allow it to cool.  Ensure there is adequate airflow around the charger and that other 
environmental factors are not contributing to overheating. 

 

Error: Under-Volt 

 an error occurred during charging where battery voltage did not rise 

during constant-current mode.  This error may indicate that the battery design voltage 
did not match the 12V/24V voltage selector, or it may indicate a problem with one or 
more cells in the battery.   
Reset the charger by disconnecting and reconnecting power.  Ensure that the 12V/24V 
voltage selector is correct for the battery and the battery shows a reasonable resting 
voltage before restarting the charge cycle.  

 

Error: Timeout 

 an error occurred during charging where the charger stage failed to 

complete in the allotted time.  See charging Method details for 
allotted times. 

 

Note: in most Error conditions, Selection Items A, B, C and D will 
vanish and the charger will not allow further operation until power 
has been turned off and on, and the error condition is remedied. 

 

Charger States 
The charger can be in one of four operational states 

 

Not Charging 

 the charger is idle and supplying no energy to the battery.  

In this state, the user may make selections to configure the charger and 
to start the charge cycle. 

 

Charging 

 the charger is charging according to the selections made by the user. In this state 

the user may select to pause the charge. 

 

Charging Paused 

 The charger has paused the charge Method and allows the battery to rest.  

The user may select “Go!” to resume the charge cycle or “End” to cancel the charge cycle 

(Not Charging). 

 

Charge Completed 

 the charger has completed the selected charge cycle and is waiting for 

the user to confirm this message by pressing “End”.  

 

 

Button Operation 

 

Each press of a Voltage, Current or Charge-Cycle-End button advances the selection above 
that button one step.  The order of sections is as shown on the right.
