using your battery charger

OVERVIEW

Using the battery charger is very simple. First, connect the battery and AC power following the precautions listed under “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS”. Then select the appropriate BATTERY TYPE and BATTERY SIZE for your battery. The charger will then do everything automati- cally. This section explains a few details.

GENERAL CHARGING NOTES: If the charger does not detect a properly con- nected battery, the CONNECTED LED will not light until a battery is detected.

Charging will not begin until the CON- NECTED LED on. When charging begins, the CHARGING LED will be lit.

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.

Your charger is equipped with a relay. This device turns the charge current on and off to the battery. It is normal to occasionally hear a clicking sound when the relay is turned on or off.

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF: When the 2A, 4A or 6A charge rate is selected, the charger is set to perform an automatic charge. When an automatic charge is performed, the charger stops charg- ing automatically after the battery is charged.

ABORTED CHARGE: If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will be aborted. When charging is aborted, the charger’s output is shut off and all the LEDs are off except the CONNECTED LED. In this state, the charger ignores all buttons. To reset the charger after an aborted charge, unplug the charger.

COMPLETION OF CHARGING: Charge completion is indicated by the CHARGED (green) LED; when lit, the charger has stopped charging and switched to the Maintain Mode of opera- tion.

MAINTAIN MODE: When the CHARGED (green) LED is lit, the charger has started Maintain Mode. The charger will monitor the battery voltage. When the voltage drops to a predetermined level, the charger will re-initiate a charge cycle at the 2A rate.
