MAINTAIN MODE (FLOAT-MODE MONITORING)
When the CHARGED
maintain mode. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by
delivering a small current when necessary. If the charger has to provide its
maximum maintain current for a continuous 12 hour period, it will go into abort
mode (see Aborted Charge section). This is usually caused by a drain 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
The SEM-1562A-CA maintains both 6 and 12 volt batteries, keeping them at
full charge.
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
recommended.
A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid
that may have come in contact with the clamps, to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the
finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will help
prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC power outlet, in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not store the clamps clipped together, on or
around metal, or clipped to the cables.
