TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
•
INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION:
The charger has a built-in overheat and an overload
electronic circuit. This protects the charger from being damage if overheated or overloaded
and will automatically decrease the charging current. Once the units internal temperature
decreases to a safe level, the charger will resume normal charging.
•
SAFETY TIMER PROTECTION:
The charger has safety timers for every stage. If the battery
voltage doesn’t reach a certain voltage within a certain time, the unit will stop charging as
it’s highly likely that you’re attempting to charge a severely discharged or heavily sulphated
battery. If any of the stages time out, the charger will immediately stop charging in order to
protect the battery. This will be indicated with the fault LED flashing slowly.
•
REVERSE POLARITY:
The charger has reverse polarity protection. If the charger output leads
are connected reverse polarity, the fault LED will come on and the charger will be disabled.
Simply unplug the charger from AC power and then connect the output leads to the correct
polarity.
•
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION:
The charger will automatically turn off if the output leads are
short circuited and the fault LED will come on. This prevents the charger from being damaged if
the positive and negative crocodile clips or ring terminals accidently touch each other while the
charger is turned on.
•
ECO MODE:
This Oz Charge battery charger has a built in ultra low power consumption
circuit. If AC power is connected and the battery is disconnected, after 10 seconds the charger
will automatically go into an ECO mode. During this mode the power drawn is less than 0.36W
which totals 0.01kWh per day power consumption. If AC power is connected and the battery
is connected, once the battery is fully charged and during the long term maintenance stage,
the total power consumption is around 0.03kWh per day.
The Power LED will flash GREEN to indicate ECO mode.
