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 Green power LED flashes to indicate ECO mode.
