Accessing Charger Information

The Truecharge2 Battery Charger provides a lot of information about the status of the charger and the batteries.

Reading Onboard Display LEDs

The Fault LED works in conjunction with the Charging Current (%) LEDs. The icons at the top row above the Charging Current (%) LEDs represent the various types of fault and warning conditions. For example, a temperature warning is represented by a thermometer icon.

The Charging Current (%) LEDs will normally illuminate as a solid progress bar when they are indicating the amount of output charging current. If any of the LEDs start to flash intermittently at the same time that the Fault LED is either solid or flashing, a fault or warning condition is indicated.

IMPORTANT: A warning condition notifies the user of an impending problem and will not stop the charger from charging, while a fault condition will stop the charger from charging the battery.

Figure 12 Charging Output (%) and Fault LEDs

Table 9, “Interpreting Fault and Warning Indicators” on page 43 summarizes the various fault conditions that might occur during the operation of the charger.

Reporting While Charging or Equalizing

After configuring the charger and during charging, the onboard display panel (and the optional remote panel, if installed) will show the following information about the charger and the battery:

• Charging Output Current

• Charger Status

• Battery Status (available on the optional remote panel only)

If there is a fault or warning related to one of the banks, the fault or warning information will display in the form of illuminating or flashing Fault indicator LEDs. Charging for all banks will stop and will only resume once the fault condition is cleared. However, charging will continue during warning conditions.
