ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts, the
charger’s output is shut off and the Red LED will
blink. The digital display will show an error code
(see Troubleshooting for a description of the error
codes). To reset after an aborted charge, unplug
the charger from the AC outlet, wait a few minutes
and then plug it back in.
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, and the display will show
SUL
. If
successful, normal charging will resume after the
battery is desulfated. Desulfation could take up to
10 hours. After 10 minutes in desulfation, the red
LED will blink. After 10 hours, if desulfation fails,
charging will abort, the display will show
F02
, and
the red LED will remain blinking.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the Charged/
Maintaining (green) LED. When lit, the charger has
switched to the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the Charged/Maintaining (green) LED is lit,
the charger has started maintain mode. In this
mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged
by delivering a charge current when necessary. If
the charger has to provide an excessive 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.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
This product charges and maintains both 6V and
12 V batteries. 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.
