Battery Charging Times:
The question of “how long will my battery take to re-charge” is always asked. Firstly, the charge rate (CR) of a battery
is rated in Amps and the battery capacity (C) in Amp Hours. The battery manufacturer for each battery type normally
states this CR. As a rule of thumb, a lead acid battery generally should be charged under approximately 1/5 of C.
For example if you have a 100Ah battery, the recommended charging current is: 100 / 5 = 20A.
The majority of the battery capacity would normally be charged in 5 hours using a 20 Amp battery charger. Similarly it
would take approximately 10 hours to charge the battery with a 10 Amp battery charger.
LED Indicators:
operating mode of the unit via two LED indicators.
Input LED:
Nominal operation is indicated by the Input LED remaining solid.
Flashing Input LED indicates that input is below 25V. If the input voltage drops below 22V charger will switch off.
When the voltage returns to above 23V the unit will return to normal operation.
Output LED:
This LED indicates the charge state of the battery charger
The LED will remain off when either:-
A)
The charger’s battery sensing technology does not sense a battery on the output.
B)
The battery has been detected to be faulty. Check 12V with a meter to establish if the battery is
with in the range of 7V to 13V.
C)
The Ignition Wire is disconnected.
D)
Output Over Voltage or Thermal Protection
