Times are based on a 50% discharged battery and may change, depending on
age and condition of battery.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain
mode automatically after the battery is charged. For a battery with a starting
voltage under 1 volt, use a manual charger to pre-charge the battery for five
minutes, to get additional voltage into the battery.
BAD BATTERY
If charging cannot be completed normally, the charger's output is shut off and the
RED LED will flash. Have the battery checked and replace, if necessary.
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
8-10 hours. If desulfation fails, the RED LED will flash.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the GREEN LED. When solid, the charger has
switched to the maintain mode of operation.
