Charging Batteries
Before you start to charge batteries read the “Important Safety Instructions” on page v and follow all safety precautions when working with batteries.
To charge your batteries:
1.If possible, disconnect all loads from the battery, by opening a disconnect switch, or by switching the loads off.
2.Ventilate the area around the battery thoroughly. Review the charging instructions supplied by the manufacturer of your batteries and take any steps required.
3.Apply AC power to the XC Series by closing the AC breaker and/or applying shorepower or turning the generator on. The indicator lights will blink as an initialization sequence runs, lasting typically 10 seconds. After initialization the charging indicator light illuminates.
During charging, the charging current indicator lights show the total current being delivered to the selected battery bank as well as any DC load applied.
