The YELLOW LED indicates CHARGING, the GREEN LED indicates
10.4
battery is fully CHARGED and the RED LED indicates CHECK BATTERY.
See more detailed explanation below.
When the charger is plugged into an AC outlet, but not connected to a
10.5
battery, the GREEN LED will illuminate. For proper operation, the battery
charger must be plugged into an AC outlet and connected to a battery.
When properly connected, the YELLOW LED indicator will illuminate. This
10.6
indicator will stay illuminated until the battery is fully charged. (The battery
is fully charged when battery voltage reaches approximately 14.4V.) At
that point, the YELLOW LED turns off and the GREEN LED illuminates.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery charger is in Maintain Mode
10.7
which allows the battery charger to keep the battery charged at approxi-
mately 13.2V.
Never leave the battery connected to the charger while the charger is
10.8
unplugged from the AC outlet.
The RED LED indicates an overload condition. Disconnect clamps for at
10.9
least five seconds. Re-connect clamps, and the charger will automatically
reset to the normal charge state.
Common causes for overload:
