Schumacher SE-210A Led Display, Automatic Charge Mode, Desulfation Mode, Extended Battery Storage

L. LED DISPLAY

Red blinking (slow)	–	indicates check battery connection or
		blown fuse
Red blinking (fast)	–	indicates error, abort stage
Red solid	–	charger is charging, current at maximum
Yellow #1 solid	–	charger is charging, voltage >14.2 volts
Yellow #1 blinking	–	desulfation mode
Yellow #2 solid	–	charger is charging, constant voltage
Green solid	– charger is in final 3-hour charge.
		95% charged
Green blinking	–	charge complete maintain stage

NOTE: When both output leads are connected to one battery, only channel one will display the charge status of the battery.

M. AUTOMATIC CHARGE MODE

The automatic charger uses a three-step charging process. During the BULK charge phase, the charger attempts to deliver 10/(20) amps of current to the battery(ies) until the battery voltage levels off. At this point, the charger enters the ABSORPTION charge phase. In this phase, the charger will hold the battery voltage constant and let the battery determine the charging current. When the charging current stabilizes, the charger will continue to charge for three hours to bring the battery up to full charge. The charger will then automatically enter the MAINTAIN MODE. During this phase, the charger will hold the battery voltage constant at 13.2 volts to guard against self- discharge of the battery. The charge current will typically be a few tenths of an amp.

N. DESULFATION MODE

If the battery has been left discharged for an extended period of time, it may have become ‘SULFATED’. If the battery voltage is less than

12.2volts prior to being charged, and the voltage climbs rapidly when charging begins, the battery may be SULFATED. Under this condition, the charger enters DESULFATION MODE; this is indicated by the first YELLOW LED blinking. In DESULFATION MODE, the initial charging current is very small. The charger will stay in DESULFATION MODE for up to 24 hours, attempting to break down the sulfation. If the battery current increases to normal in this time, the charger will enter the normal AUTOMATIC MODE. If the current does NOT increase to normal, the charger will enter the ABORT state and will shut off. The rapid flashing of the RED LED indicates the ABORT state and the battery may need to be replaced. The charger will remain in abort until the AC power is removed.

O. EXTENDED BATTERY STORAGE

The charger will draw a small amount of current from the battery(ies), a few milliamps, when not charging or maintaining. If the battery(ies) are going to be stored for an extended period of time (several months) without being charged, it is best to disconnect the leads or remove the fuse to keep the charger from discharging the battery(ies) over time.

P. MAINTENANCE / CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Very little maintenance is required for the battery charger. Use common sense in wiping the charger clean and store in a clean, dry area.

1.After use, use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from terminals, cords, and the charger case.

2.Coil charger cords to prevent damage.

3.Have any cracked or frayed cords replaced by a qualified professional.

4.Store battery charger in a clean, dry area.
