Replace and tighten the nuts to secure it. Take care to keep both
wires and plug away from hot surfaces and sharp edges. Connect
the ring connector cable assembly to the charger. Periodically
check the ring connectors to ensure they are properly connected.
Aborted Charge
If charging can not be completed normally, charging will abort.
When charging aborts, the charger's output is shut off, and the
CHARGING LED will flash. To reset after an aborted charge,
either disconnect the battery or unplug the charger.
Completion of Charge
Charge completion is indicated by the CHARGED LED. When
lit, the charger has stopped charging and switched to the Maintain
Mode of operation.
Maintain Mode (Float-Mode Monitoring)
When the CHARGED LED is lit, the charger has started
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 Schumacher XM1-5 is a battery maintainer, and maintains
both 6 and 12 volt batteries, keeping them at full charge. It
can charge small batteries and maintain both small and large
batteries. If you are maintaining a fully charged large battery, you
are properly utilizing the XM1-5. However, if you use the battery
charger to charge a large battery, such as a marine deep-cycle
battery that was not fully charged, you may lose some of the
battery's capacity. This would cause the large battery to be unable
to hold a charge and become useless. Therefore, we do not
recommend charging a large battery with this unit.
