5. Select the battery type and charge rate.
6. When charging is complete,
disconnect the charger from the AC
power, disconnect the negative clamp,
and finally the positive clamp.
7. A marine (boat) battery must be
removed and charged on shore.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with
an auto-start feature. Current will not be
supplied to the battery clamps until a
battery is properly connected. The clamps
will not spark if touched together.
CHARGE RATE
The charger will automatically adjust the
charging current, based on battery size,
in order to charge the battery completely,
efficiently and safely.
BATTERY CHARGING TIMES
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.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off and the
CHARGING (yellow/orange) LED will
flash. The digital display will show an error
code (see the Troubleshooting section for a
description of the error codes). To reset after
an aborted charge, unplug the charger from
the AC outlet, wait a few moments and then
plug it back in.
DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours.
If desulfation fails, charging will abort and
the CHARGING
will flash.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the
CHARGED/MAINTAINING
LED. When pulsing, the charger has
switched to the maintain mode of operation.
(yellow/orange) LED
(green)
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the CHARGED/MAINTAINING
(green) 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.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The XC75-CA, XC75W-CA, XC103-CA
and XC103W-CA charge and maintain
both 6 and 12 volt batteries.
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 required.
USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE
Your battery charger can be used to jump
start your car if the battery is low. Follow
all safety instructions and precautions for
charging your battery. Wear complete eye
protection and protective clothing.
WARNING: Using the ENGINE START
feature WITHOUT a battery installed in
the vehicle could cause damage to the
vehicle's electrical system.
NOTE: If you have charged the battery
and it still will not start your car, do not
use the Engine Start feature, or it could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
Have the battery checked.
1. With the charger unplugged from the
AC outlet, connect the charger to the
battery following the instructions given
in the CHARGING A BATTERY IN
THE VEHICLE section.
2. Plug the charger AC power cord into
the AC outlet.
3. With the charger plugged in and
connected to the battery and chassis,
press the RATE SELECTION button
until the ENGINE START LED is lit.
4. Crank the engine until it starts or 3
seconds pass. If the engine does not
start, wait 3 minutes before cranking
again. This allows the charger and
battery to cool down.
