Note
: If the battery system does not have
a minimum no load OCV (Open Circuit
Voltage) of 33 volts, the ERROR LED will
light
RED
and charger will reject batteries.
No further effort should be made to charge this bat-
tery with this charger or any charger. Discard this
battery, unless it has just been subjected to a long
period of continuous discharge under a load such
as can occur with leaving lights on or cranking an
engine excessively. Allow such a battery to “Rest”
for several hours (overnight if possible) before
determining if it is defective. Be very suspicious of
any 36-V battery system that does not have at least
33-Volts (OCV) before it is recharged. It may well be
seriously damaged and unsafe for any type of use or
recharge. The unit’s Battery Condition Indication LED
will help you determine if batteries are less than 33-
Volts (
YELLOW
)) or greater than 33-Volts (
GREEN
)
7.
After batteries have been fully charged, the
GREEN
Charge-Float LED Indicator will begin
blinking. It will continue to blink indefinitely, unless
unit is disconnected from batteries or Start / Reset /
Stop button is pressed. Should batteries be unable
to be fully charged, the LED will not blink and the
RED
Error LED will blink. Batteries may not be
able to be fully charged, may be too large or too
deeply discharged to be fully charged in the normal
time allowed by charger. If you are certain one or
more batteries are not defective, having read and
understood completely all of the above concerns
and conditions, proceed to restart the charger by
pressing and holding the Start/Reset/Stop but-
ton for approx. 5 seconds until all LEDs Flash.
