BATTERY CHARGING TIMES
Times are based on a 50% discharged battery and may change, depending on age and condition of battery.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot
be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts, the charger’s output is shut off
and the Bad Battery (red) LED will light. The digital display will show an error code (see the Troubleshooting section for
a description of the error codes). Do not continue attempting to charge this battery. Check the battery and replace, if
necessary.
DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours. During this time, the display will show “SUL” and the Bad Battery (red) LED will
light. If desulfation fails, charging will abort, the display will show “F02” and the Bad Battery (red) LED will stay on.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the Charged (green) LED. When lit, the charger has switched to the maintain mode
of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE (FLOAT-MODE MONITORING)
When the Charged (green) LED is lit, the charger has started maintain mode. In this mode, the charger keeps the
battery fully charged by delivering a small current when necessary. If the charger has to provide its maximum maintain
current for a continuous 12 hour period, it will go into abort mode (see Aborted Charge section). This is usually caused
by a drain on the battery or the battery could be bad. Make sure there are no loads on the battery. If there are, remove
them. If there are none, have the battery checked or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
This unit charges and maintains 6-volt and 12-volt batteries.
NOTE:
The maintain mode technology allows you to safely
charge and maintain a healthy battery for extended periods of time. However, problems with the battery, electrical
problems in the vehicle, improper connections or other unanticipated conditions could cause excessive current draws.
As such, occasionally monitoring your battery and the charging process is required.
