Many rechargeable batteries share an exact or very similar profile to one of the
battery types listed above. Contact Factory to ask for MODE setting for a battery
type not listed, or visit

Battery MODE Setting Algorithm Match-Up’.
6. CHARGING A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
An LED Display is assumed to be used. For products using an LCD (Liquid
Crystal Display) Display, the information below is displayed in readable format –
refer to the section titled ‘LCD Display Menu Formats’ for a complete description
of how the LED information is translated and displayed on the LCD.
For 4 consecutive seconds, upon connection to AC Power, the Front Panel LEDs
will flash a pattern to annunciate the mode setting as Described in the following
table where ‘0’ = Off, and ‘1’ indicates LED Flashing:

Note: For Vertical oriented LED Display, ‘Left’ is equivalent to ‘Bottom’ LED
MODE-31 is empty – selection of an empty MODE will produce an Empty Mode Error. A
Slow Flash rate is used to annunciate Modes 1 to 31. Mode-32 uses a Fast-Flash rate.
NOTE:
If the charger has been subjected to Field Reprogramming by the user, during
the first time charger is used, startup time can take up to 10 minutes. The LEDs
will not flash and the charger will appear to be ‘frozen’. Do not unplug charger
because it is rebuilding its internal Database – refer to the section titled
‘
Accusense Charge Suite Application’
for further details.
Multi-Stage Charge Algorithms
o
There are up to 8 charging Stages! Depending on the MODE selected, these
stages are already preset and implementation of each stage will vary from
one MODE to the next, dependent on the type of battery intended to be
charged. These charge stages ‘typically’ include:
