BATTERY CONNECTION INDICATOR
If the charger does not detect a properly
connected battery, charging will not start
and the digital display will show one
of two messages. If the display shows
"CONNECT BATTERY", make sure the
charger is connected to the battery and the
connection points are clean and making
a good connection. If the display shows
"WARNING CLAMPS REVERSED",
unplug the charger from the AC outlet,
reverse the connections at the battery,
and then plug the charger back in.
CHARGE COMPLETION AND MAINTAIN
MODE (Float Mode Monitoring)
Charge completion is indicated by the green
LED pulsing and the digital display scrolling
"FULLY CHARGED AUTO MAINTAINING".
This means that the charger has stopped
charging and has switched to the Maintain
Mode of operation. NOTE: If the charger
has to provide its maximum maintain
current (1.8A) for a continuous 12 hour
period, it will go into Abort Mode (see
Aborted Charge section). This is usually
caused by a load on the battery, or the
battery could be bad. Make sure there are
no loads on the battery. If there are, remove
them. If there are none, have the battery
checked or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
This unit maintains both 6 and 12 volt
batteries, keeping them at full charge. It
can charge small batteries and maintain
both small and large batteries. If you are
maintaining a fully charged large battery,
you are properly utilizing the battery
charger. However, if you use this battery
charger to charge a large battery, such
as a marine deep-cycle battery that was
not fully charged, you may not get the
battery's full capacity. Therefore, we do
not recommend charging a large battery
with this unit.
NOTE: 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
BATTERY CHARGING TIMES
APPLICATION
POWERSPORTS
AUTOMOTIVE
MARINE
Times are based on a 50% discharged
battery and may change, depending on
age and condition of battery.
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.
If successful, normal charging will resume
after the battery is desulfated. Desulfation
could take up to 8 hours. If desulfation
fails, charging will abort, the red LED will
light, and the display will scroll "CHARGE
ABORTED-BAD BATTERY".
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off, the red
LED will light, and the display will scroll
"CHARGE ABORTED-BAD BATTERY".
Do not continue attempting to charge this
battery. Have it checked or replaced.
