Operation (cont'd)
YELLOW CHARGING (LED)
ON:
battery charging
OFF: if charge complete, or fault detected, or during
reconditioning cycle
Charge time: approximately 1 hour
The 337 16.8 V Nickel Cadmium battery has a 5 LED
charge indicator. During CHARGING and RECONDI-
TIONING cycles, the battery's charge indicator will light
up to indicate the approximate charge capacity of the
battery.
GREEN READY (LED)
ON:
battery pack fully charged
OFF: at all other times when battery is not fully
charged
After reaching full charge, the charger automatically
applies a maintenance charge which will keep the
battery fully charged indefinitely. The CHARGE LED is
OFF during this maintenance charge.
RED BATTERY FAULT (LED)
ON:
if the charger detects that the battery is shorted
or failed to reach a predetermined voltage upon
battery insertion or during the CHARGING cycle
OFF: during normal charging or reconditioning or
temperature fault
BLINKING: lack of communication with battery
RED TEMPERATURE (LED)
ON:
if battery is too hot or cold (below 41°F [4°C]
or above 131°F [55°C])
OFF: during normal charging or reconditioning or when
battery fault
If the TEMPERATURE LED is indicated, the charger
remains in the maintenance mode. Once the battery
pack achieves temperatures between 41°F (5°C) and
131°F (55°C), the charge cycle will start and the
CHARGING LED will turn ON.

Battery Charger
YELLOW RECONDITIONING (LED)
ON:
during battery reconditioning
OFF: during normal charging or when fault detected
Recondition time: approximately 7 hours, depending on
the age and condition of the battery
The RECONDITIONING cycle removes the effect of
"memory" loss which the battery may acquire from
repeated partial battery discharge use in crimper.
Complete discharge of battery during crimper use is the
best way of preventing the effect of "memory" loss.
After 30 partial battery discharges, a tone will sound 5
times to alert the user to press the RECONDITIONING
button on the charger.
The user may recondition the battery at any time by
pressing the RECONDITIONING button within the first
minute of battery insertion. If one minute elapses, the
charger defaults to CHARGING.
The RECONDITIONING cycle consists of a charge
cycle a full discharge cycle, and a final charge cycle.
12 VDC Charger Only
GREEN POWER ON (LED)
BLINKING: Low power standby mode
When the input voltage drops below 11.5 VDC, the
charger goes into low power standby mode. If the
voltage drop is less than 15 seconds, the charger will
resume operation.
This feature allows the charger to continue its cycle if it
is interrupted during engine startup. It will also shut off
the charger if the vehicle electrical system/battery
voltage drops too low.
