Things to be aware of

When the XC Series is operating, fans and lights (DC loads) may vary in speed or intensity. This is normal. The XC Series will not harm any load connected to it as long as there is a battery present on that bank.

When you initially turn the XC Series on and configure it, it is possible that some banks may be disqualified. Because the charger is able to detect unhealthy batteries and disqualify them, batteries that may have appeared healthy before will now be correctly identified as needing attention.

Perform these disqualification checks in the order shown:

1.Wait 15 minutes for the next battery detection cycle. The warning may be temporary.

2.Verify that the battery meets the minimum AmpHour rating (XC1524: 30 Ah,

XC2524: 50 Ah, XC3012: 60 Ah, XC5012: 100 Ah)

3.Try adding a small DC load.

4.Replace the battery.
