LED Indications

Each charge position of a PowerCharger has a pair of LEDs (one red, one green) which indicate the status of the battery attached to that position. The following table identifies all of the PowerCharger LED indications and their meaning:

LED INDICATION

MEANING

 

 

Alternating

Indicates that the PowerCharger is evaluating the battery and/or

Red & Green

communicating with a DIGITAL battery, loading battery

 

parameters and determining the appropriate charge routine. A

 

low voltage (<11V) battery will cause this indication to continue

 

until the battery is “rejuvenated” to a safe charging voltage.

 

NOTE: This indication will continue if a non-Anton/Bauer Logic

 

Series battery is mounted on the charger. These batteries cannot

 

identify themselves to the PowerCharger and will not be charged.

Steady Red

Indicates that the battery is being held by the PowerCharger

 

EITHER in line to charge, to stabilize an out-of-range temperature

 

condition, or to await discharge in test mode with a DDM module

 

installed.

Flashing Red

Indicates that the battery is currently under Stage One charge-

 

Charging (Primary).

Flashing Green

Indicates that the battery is currently under Stage Two charge-

(slow rate)

Ready (Secondary).

Flashing Green

Indicates a fully charged DIGITAL battery is placed on the

(fast rate)

charger and a FUL cutoff condition cannot be met. The charger

 

is VERIFYING that the battery is in a full charge condition.

Steady Green

Indicates that the battery is READY and in Stage Three Lifesaver

 

mode.

NOTE: In some cases, a battery may be discharged to a very low voltage level at which the battery is unrecognizable to the charger when first attached. In this case, no indications will appear on the LED (or LCD) display. Each PowerCharger constantly looks for such batteries, applying small, safe amounts of charge current to each empty charge position. This search mode occurs whenever the charger is NOT occupied in a Stage One mode on another position. If the charger is otherwise busy, it will search only occasionally for such batteries and the position may have no LED or LCD indication. This is normal. The charger will properly identify and address the position when the other batteries have completed Stage One.
