Page 12

10.5CAUTION - Do not leave Manual chargers unattended.

10.6CAUTION: If at any time the battery gets hot (above 125°F (52°C)) or acid comes out of vent caps, STOP charging.

10.7To maximize battery life - Let automatic chargers complete charging.

11.MULTIPLE BATTERY CHARGING

Batteries of the same voltage may be connected in parallel for maintenance charging. Charge time increases in proportion to the number of batteries. Rate of charge decreases in the same proportion.

Example: Charging 2 batteries in parallel will take 2 times longer; each battery receives 1/2 the amount of charge showing on the ammeter. Thus, if the ammeter shows a 30-amp charge, each battery will get a 15-amp charge (when batteries have the same rating, same state of charge, etc.).

12.CHARGER FEATURES AND CONTROLS

12.1LED Indicators: The battery charger has three LED lights. They indicate different functions.

RED LED - A steady glow indicates POWER ON. Red Led flashes if there is a problem (i.e. battery isn't charged within 8 hours).

YELLOW LED - A steady glow indicates proper connection to the battery.

Flashing yellow indicates no connection or reverse connection.

GREEN LED - A steady glow indicates that Float-mode Monitoring is keeping your battery maintained at full charge.

as a safety precaution, after 24-hours of charging, the charger automatically switchs OFF.
