Times are based on a 50% discharged battery and may change,
depending on age and condition of battery.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING
When an Automatic Charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain mode automatically after
the battery is charged.
SERVICE MODE
Supplies 15A<>40A at 13.6V. The yellow/orange Charging LED is lit. During Service Mode, battery
percentage is invalid. If the display button is pressed, the display will show battery voltage and estimated
current. Always use in combination with a battery.
DESULFATION
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, and the display will show BAD BATTERY. If successful, normal
charging will resume after the battery is desulfated. Desulfation could take up to 10 hours. If desulfation
fails, charging will abort and the display will show 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, and the display will show CHARGE ABORTED -BAD BATTERY. Do not continue attempting to
charge this battery. Check the battery and replace, if necessary.
CHARGE COMPLETION AND MAINTAIN MODE (FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
Charge completion is indicated by the solid green Charged/Maintaining LED and the digital display
showing 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 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.
