Permanent Ring Connectors
(Model OMAX-6A-1B)
The ring connectors permanently attach to the battery, providing easy access to quickly
charge your battery. This application is appopriate for motorcycles, lawn tractors, ATVs
and snowmobiles.
1.
To permanently attach to a battery, loosen and remove each nut from the bolt at the
battery terminal.
2.

Replace and tighten the nuts to secure.
5.
Connect the cable to the end of the charger output cord. Take care to keep the wires
and plug away from metal and moving parts.
6.
Plug the charger power cord into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet. Make sure to place the
charger on a dry, non-flammable surface, like metal or concrete.
12. CHARGER OPERATION
The Ultimizer™ charger is custom designed to safely and quickly charge your Odyssey
®
battery using a three-step profile. It is very important that you not use this charger with
any battery other than Odyssey
®
as it can damage other lead acid batteries.
In the first step, called the
bulk phase
, the battery is charged at up to the nominal charge
rate (6, 12, 25, 40 or 50 amps) until the voltage reaches about 14.7V. The charger then
switches to the second step, called the
absorption phase
.
In this step the charger continues to charge the battery at about 14.7V until either the
charge current drops to 100 milliamps or the charger has been in the absorption phase
for 4 hours, whichever occurs first.
The charger then enters into
the
maintain mode phase
at 13.5-13.8V. The battery can be
left connected to the charger indefinitely.
The OMAX-40AS-3B and OMAX-50AS-3B chargers were designed to charge up to and
including three 12V batteries in sequence. When charging in sequence, only one of the
three banks is on at a time. Every few minutes, the charger will alternate which output
is on and which outputs are off. Each output will continue to turn on and off every few
minutes as long as more than one bank is set to charge. If only one bank is connected
to a battery and turned on, then it will charge continuously.
NOTE:
Since each bank is on only half or one third of the time during charging, the
absorption phase could last 8 or 12 hours instead of only 4 hours.
Battery Connection Indicator
If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, the CHECK LED will light.
Charging will not begin while the CHECK LED is on.
Aborted Charge
(Model OMAX-6A-1B)
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger’s output is shut off and the CHECK LED will blink. In that state, the charger
ignores all buttons. To reset after an aborted charge, unplug the charger from the AC
outlet, wait a few moments and plug it back in.
Aborted Charge
(Models OMAX-12A-1B, OMAX-25A-1B)
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger’s output is shut off and the CHECK LED will blink and the digital display
will show 18.8 and blink on and off (at opposite times). In that state, the charger
ignores all buttons. To reset after an aborted charge, unplug the charger from the AC
outlet, wait a few moments and plug it back in.
Aborted Charge
(Models OMAX-50A-1B)
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts, the
charger’s output is shut off, the CHECK LED will blink and the digital display will show
8.8.8
and blink on and off (at opposite times). In that state, the charger ignores all buttons.
To reset after an aborted charge, unplug the charger from the AC outlet, wait a few
moments and plug it back in.
