Battery Charger Controls/Features
6
Battery Voltage Selection Button:
Change the Battery voltage from 12Volts to 24Volts by simply
pressing the “VOLTAGE” button
.
The battery voltage can be
selected once the charger has AC power applied and before the
charger is connected to the battery.
Once the charger has AC power and is also connected to the battery
the voltage (12V or 24V) selection cannot be changed. To change
the mode, disconnect the battery from the charger.
If the AC power is interrupted the charger will resume charging at
the last battery voltage setting used.
The charger can also detect if the incorrect battery voltage has been
selected or if the battery is defective once the connection has been
made to the battery. The
12V
or
24V
symbol will flash preventing the
charge cycle from starting. In order to begin a new charge cycle,
reset the charger by disconnecting it from the AC supply as well as
the wrong or defective battery for 7-10 seconds. Reconnect the AC
supply and the charger will be ready for a new charge cycle.
Battery Type/Chemistry Selection Button:
Change the battery Type/chemistry from “LEAD ACID” to “AGM”, to
Li (LiFePO4) by simply pressing the “BATTERY” button.
The battery type must be selected once the charger has AC
power applied and before the charger is connected to the
battery.
Once the charger has AC power and is also connected to the battery
the battery type selection cannot be changed. In order to begin a
new charge cycle, reset the charger by disconnecting it from the AC
supply as well as the wrong or defective battery for 7-10 seconds.
Reconnect the AC supply and the charger will be ready for a new
charge cycle.
If the AC power is interrupted the charger will resume charging at
the last settings used.

Automatic Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4)
Recovery Mode
If you try to charge a dead 12 or 24 Volt Lithium Iron Phosphate
battery (LiFePO4) with a very low voltage, 6 to 9 Volts (12V), or 12
to 16 Volts (24V) the charger will automatically switch into the
Recovery Mode. When in this mode the
Amber CHARGING LED
will be solid and the
Li (LiFePO4)
symbol will flash. If successful and
once complete the charger will automatically switch back to the
normal charge cycle. There is a three (3) hour time limit for this
recovery process. If not successful the
12V or 24V
symbol will start
flashing. It will continue this sequence until the charger is
disconnected from the AC source. If this happens there is a good
chance that the battery has already been damaged due to the low
voltage and cannot be recovered.
