AUTOMATIC CHARGING AND BATTERY STATUS MONITORING:
WeatherTech ® BatteryCharger are completely automatic and may be left connected to both
AC power and to the battery that it is charging for long periods of time. The charger output
power, voltage, and current depends on the condition of the battery it is charging.
WeatherTech ® BatteryChargers have several status LED indicators that provide a visual
means to determine the operating mode of the charger and hence the condition of the
battery connected to the charger.
When AC power is first applied to the charger all of the LED's will illuminate for two to three
seconds before starting the charge sequence listed below.
The two battery level status LED indicator lights (Amber LED 1, Green LED 5) are available to
determine whether the charger is operating in one of the four primary charge modes:
1)
Qualification/Initialization mode: The Monitor Circuit verifies appropriate battery
voltage levels and good electrical continuity between the battery and the charger
DC output.
2)
Bulk mode (full charge, constant current, battery is 0% to 80% charged)
3)
Absorption mode (high constant voltage, battery is 80% to 100% charged).
4)
Storage/float maintenance mode (low constant voltage, battery is 100% to 103%
charged).
When the battery is fully charged, the battery level status Green LED (5) indicator will turn
solid green and the charger will switch to a storage/float maintenance charge mode. The
WeatherTech ® BatteryCharger will automatically monitor and maintain the battery at full charge.
BATTERY VOLTAGE SELECT BUTTON
WeatherTech ® BatteryCharger has a " SELECT " button which allows you to switch between
charging a 12 volt AGM/Flooded, 12 volt Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery or a 6 volt
AGM/Flooded battery.
