CHARGE PERIOD
The approximate required time to bring a battery to full charge state depends upon the number of ampere-hours (AH) depleted from the
battery. AHs are determined by multiplying the number of hours times the number of Amps supplied by a battery to a load and normally
indicated on the battery. For example - if a load was connected to a battery, which drew 7 Amps for a period of 5 hours, the battery will
have supplied 35 AH. The approximate recharge time would then be calculated by dividing the 35 AH depleted from the battery, by the
ampere charge rate of the charger. To allow for tapering of the charge rate add 25 percent to the charge time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
!
CONTINUOUS GREEN LIGHT
- Indicates correct connection. If no green light check for proper connection and reverse if necessary.
!
CONTINUOUS RED LIGHT ONLY
- Poor connection - check clips. Dead battery - have battery checked.
!
CONTINUOUS RED AND YELLOW LIGHT
- Charging.
!
CONTINUOUS RED AND GREEN LIGHTS
- Charged.
NOTES:
TWO SECOND DELAY
- to avoid sparking, the charger control tests for correct polarity before applying current to the battery. When connected
properly, the green light will come on for 2 seconds before the yellow light comes on.
GREEN TO YELLOW SWITCHING
- at the charged state the yellow light will return and the green light go out for short periods. This is to
ensure that the battery is kept topped up.
VEHICLE STARTING:
NEVER use your automatic charger to assist vehicle starting. By doing so you may damage control circuit components.
ATTENTION:
This battery charger is not intended for use as an extended battery maintainer.
It is recommended that the electrolyte level of the battery be checked regularly when charging batteries for an extended period of time, and
that the battery should not remain continuously connected to the battery charger for a period of more than six weeks.
