aborted charge, either disconnect the battery or unplug the charger.
12.4DESULFATION MODE: If a battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, it could become sulfated and not accept a normal charge. If the charger detects a sulfated battery, the charger will switch to a special mode of operation designed for such batteries. Activation of the special desulfation mode is indicated by the CHARGING (yellow) LED blinking.
If successful, normal charging will resume after the battery is desulfated. The CHARGING (yellow) LED will then stop blinking and light continu- ously. Desulfation could take up to 10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging will abort and the CHECK (red) LED will blink.
12.5COMPLETION OF CHARGE: Charge completion is indicated by the CHARGED (green) LED. When lit, the charger has stopped charging and switched to the Maintain Mode of operation. If the 12V DEEP CYCLE battery type was selected for other charge types, the CHARGED (green) LED comes on when the battery is charged enough for normal use.
12.6MAINTAIN MODE: When the CHARGED (green) LED is lit, the charger has started Maintain Mode. This mode of operation is also known as
is maintained at a level determined by the BATTERY TYPE selected. NOTE: For charge types other than Deep Cycle, the charged LED might be lit before Maintain Mode is started.
12.7GENERAL CHARGING NOTES: The charger is designed to control its cooling fan for efficient operation. Consequently, it is normal for the fan to start and stop 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 CHARGE RATE or BATTERY TYPE button), the charging process will restart.
The voltage displayed during charging is the charging voltage and is usually higher than the battery’s resting voltage.
