Desulfation
light flashes
BLUE
any time the unit is desulfating.
The BatteryMINDer desulfates any time it is outputting current.
Temperature Compensation
light is
GREEN
if the temperature
is over 27°C/80°F,
BLUE
if the temperature is under 21°C/70°F.
BatteryMINDer Model 2012 includes an ambient temperature
sensor which allows it to vary the output voltage as necessary to
properly charge your battery (-0.025 V/°C). Batteries charged at
higher temperatures without compensation will overcharge and
may outgas. Batteries charged at lower temperatures without
compensation will undercharge allowing sulfation to build, possibly
leading to the battery freezing. By using temperature compensation,
the BatteryMINDer ensures your battery will never over or under
charge, even in extreme conditions.

Consider using accessory ABS-248 “At the Battery Sensor” for more
accurate temperature compensation. It is highly recommended if your
battery is located in a different environment or compartment than your
charger.
