AC supply and the battery, then :
a) if still connected to vehicle wiring, remove the battery from the vehicle, inspect and if the battery appears physically
undamaged, then for 1 hour, allow for the voltage to recover.
b) if the battery is in a very cold environment, move the battery where temperature is at least 15°C (60°F) and then for 1 hour (or
up to 24 hours if the battery was stored below freezing ) allow the battery to warm up naturally.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WARM THE BATTERY ARTIFICIALLY.
Then, reconnect OptiMate to the battery and then reconnect OptiMate to AC power. If the problem persists, read point 2 below.
2. This OptiMate charger's primary function is to charge and maintain batteries that are in good health or might have been mildly
over discharged. Go to www.optimate1.com and find the OptiMate battery saving charger model able to safely and correctly
recover a severely sulphated lead-acid battery or an OptiMate Lithium charger that can safely recover a lithium battery from
a severely discharged state.
Maintaining a battery for extended periods:
at a time. At least once every two weeks, check that the connections between the charger and battery are secure, and, in the case of
batteries with filler caps on each cell, disconnect the battery from the charger, check the level of the electrolyte and if necessary, top
up the cells (with distilled water, NOT acid), then reconnect. When handling batteries or in their vicinity, always take care to observe
the SAFETY WARNINGS above.
Charging time:
The time required for the OptiMate 1 DUO to complete a charge on a flat but otherwise undamaged battery is
roughly equal to 1.5x the battery's Ah rating, so a 14Ah battery should take no more than about 21 hours to progress to Step 3.
Deep-discharged batteries may take significantly longer.
