Times are based on a 50% discharged battery
and may change, depending on age and con-
dition of battery.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an Automatic Charge is performed,
the charger switches to the maintain mode
automatically after the battery is charged.
BAD BATTERY
If charging cannot be completed normally,
the charger’s output is shut off and the red
Bad Battery LED will light. Do not continue
attempting to charge this battery. Check
the battery and replace, if necessary.
DESULFATION MODE
If the battery is left discharged for an
extended period of time, it could become
sulfated and not accept a normal charge.
If the charger detects a sulfated battery,
the charger will switch to a special mode
of operation designed for such batteries.
If successful, normal charging will resume
after the battery is desulfated. Desulfation
could take 8-10 hours. If desulfation fails,
the red Bad Battery LED will light.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the green
Charged LED. When lit, the charger has
switched to the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the green Charged 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 pro-
vide its maximum maintain current for a
continuous 12 hour period, it will go into
abort mode (see Bad Battery 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
The unit maintains both 6 and 12 volt bat-
teries, keeping them at full charge. It is not
recommended for industrial applications.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology
allows you to safely charge and main-
tain 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, occa-
sionally monitoring your battery and
the charging process is recommended.
12. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
A minimal amount of care can keep your
battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are
finished charging. Wipe off any battery
fluid that may have come in contact
with the clamps to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the
charger with a soft cloth will keep the
finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly
when storing the charger. This will help
prevent accidental damage to the cords
and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the
AC power outlet in an upright position.
• Store the clamps on the storage areas
provided on the handle. Do not store
the clamps clipped together, on or
around metal, or clipped to the cables.
