could take up to 10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging will be aborted and the digital display will blink.
12.5COMPLETION OF CHARGING:
•12V or 6V Standard Battery: Charge completion is indicated by the
CHARGED (green) LED; when lit, the charger has stopped charging and switched to the Maintain Mode of operation.
•12V AGM OR GEL CELL BATTERY: The CHARGED LED comes on when the battery is charged enough for normal use. After charging is complete, the CHARGED LED will be on and the voltage will be less than
14V.
12.6MAINTAIN MODE: When the CHARGED (green) LED is lit, the charger has started Maintain Mode. This mode of operation is also known as Float- Mode Monitoring. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a small amount of current, when necessary. The voltage is maintained at a level determined by the BATTERY TYPE selected.
NOTE: For 12V AGM and 12V GEL CELL battery types, the CHARGED
LED might be lit before the maintain mode is started.
12.7GENERAL CHARGING NOTES: The charger is designed to control its cooling fan for efficient operation, but the fan might run continuously when maintaining a fully charged battery. The fan does not run in Tester Mode.
If the charge mode is changed after charging has started (by pressing the
BATTERY SIZE or BATTERY TYPE button), the charging process will be restarted.
The voltage displayed during charging will usually be higher than the bat- tery’s resting voltage.
The voltage displayed during charging is the battery voltage, not the RMS charging voltage.
