(B) CHARGING STAGES
The stages of this charging cycle are as follows:
1. POLARITY TEST:
Upon connection to the battery, a polarity check is made to ensure that the connections are
correct. The red coloured LED will light up under the warning symbol if the connection polarity is
wrong.
2. ANALYSIS:
a. If the battery is permanently damaged or will not accept a charge current, or if the
voltage is below 3 volts, the Oximiser 601 will not attempt to re-charge. The red
LED (<3V) light will light up to prompt you to disconnect the Oximiser 601 from the battery.
3. RECOVER:
a. If the battery is deeply discharged to approximately 3.1 Volts, the Oximiser 601 will charge
at up to 601mA/hr.
Note: It is possible that a battery under 3V to 4V may not be recoverable. Also it is possible that
any battery that has dropped below 8 volts may never fully recover to full capacity. If a battery has
been left discharged over a long period of time then recovery is also less likely to be possible.
4. BULK CHARGE:
a. From 11.8 Volts, a maximum charging current will apply until the battery has recharged and has
reached an "on-charge" voltage of 12.8V.
b. The battery can be used to start the vehicle at this stage although full charge will not be reached
until the 14.1V light is starting to glow.
5. MAINTAIN ( FLOAT CHARGE ):
a. From 12.8V the charge rate will continue to reduce as the voltage rises.
b. The Oximiser 601 will maintain and optimise the battery indefi nitely so long as it
remains connected to the battery and at over 14.0V the fi nal light will glow and
the charger will apply a gentle trickle charge to ensure the battery remains in perfect
condition.
c. If a small drain is applied to the battery (when accidentally leaving an electronic item
switched on), this charger will compensate by automatically increasing the charge
current and thereby maintaining the battery condition.
How to Start the Charging Process
1. Correctly connect the Oximiser 601 to the battery terminals. If the red warning light is
lit up, it means that the positive and negative leads need to be swapped over. If the
red LED (<3V) light is lit, then it means that the battery voltage is too low and the charger
should be disconnected from the battery.
2. The Oximiser 601 will automatically charge and maintain the battery so long as it is
connected to the battery.
3. The charging process can be interrupted by switching off the mains power and then
disconnecting the leads. Please note that if the mains power is switched off but the
battery is still connected to this charger then the battery will not be charged and will
slowly become discharged.
