TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQ’s
Q. How do I know if the battery is fully charged?
A. The % charge of battery value on the lower right hand side of the main data screen
will read 100%. Refer to page 7.
Q. I have installed the battery correctly but the LCD screen reads “Alarm - open circuit”, what
is wrong?
A. The battery is faulty or the 10A “main” fuse is blown, also check battery cables are firmly tightened
to battery terminals.
Q. How can I tell what stage the charger is in?
A. The battery charging cycle is indicated on the lower left hand side of the main data screen. Refer
to page 7.
Q. What does Ahr mean?
A. An “amp hour” (abbreviation Ahr) is a unit of electrical charge and refers to the battery’s capacity.
A power source rated at one amp hour can deliver one amp continuously for one hour or two amps
for half an hour or sixty amps for one
minute etc.
Q. What type of batteries will the ArkPak charge?
A. The ArkPak AP730 can charge lithium iron phosphate batteries and most types of rechargeable
12V lead-acid type battery from 60 Ahr capacity up to 140Ahr. There are four main types of 12V lead
acid battery - conventional wet lead-acid battery, calcium, AGM and gel. The ArkPak can charge both
cold cranking type car batteries and deep cycle batteries.
Q. How do I know which battery type and Ahr rating to select?
A. Normally the battery type and Ahr rating is marked on the battery by the manufacturer. If you are
not sure contact your battery retailer. It is very important that the correct battery type is selected
since the charger uses a different charge technique for each battery type.
Q. Can I charge the battery using the external terminals or accessory sockets?
A. Yes you can as long as the main isolator switch is in the “on” position. This type of charging is not
controlled by the on-board microprocessor since the charge current will flow direct to the battery via
the main isolator switch. If an external voltage regulator is not used there is a risk of overcharging and
damaging the battery. Please also consider the accessory sockets are fused at 10A so a current flow
higher than this will blow
the fuse.
Q. Can I leave the ArkPak continually plugged in?
A. Yes the ArkPak will go into float cycle.
Q. My AC adaptor gets hot when charging, is that okay?
A. Yes that is normal, it can reach 75°C.
