CHARGING

The battery charger must be connected to the battery according to the instructions

above.

Start charging

1. Connect the power cord to the power outlet. The charger indicates STANDBY, or latest

selected mode, yellow indication light (A).

2. Set the proper charging mode for the battery by pushing the Mode Selector Button (see

Battery Types and Settings).

3. The lamp for Deep Discharged battery (1) will indicate if the battery has been dis-

charged down to below 10.5 V. A recondition phase could be needed after the com-

pleted charge cycle.

4. Normal charging settings (14.4 V or 14.7 V) will be indicated by the lamps for Deep

Discharged (1), Bulk Charge (2), Absorption Charge (3) or Maintenance Charge (4).

The lamp for maintenance means that the battery is fully charged. The charge will

restart if the voltage drops. The charger can normally be connected for months. How-

ever it is recommended to monitor batteries on charge. The Supply or Recond settings

are indicated by the lamps for those settings.

5. The red alarm indication light (0) will indicate a battery, which is connected to reverse

polarity (will not work in Supply Mode). The red alarm indication light (0) will also indi-

cate if the charge cycle is activated without any battery connected to the battery leads.

6. If nothing happens: A bad connection of the battery to ground will be indicated by no

indicator lights illuminating or that the indicator lamp is still in the Standby-mode (lamp

A). A bad battery will also be indicated in the same way. Don’t forget to check the wall

outlet. If you experience problems: start with the sensitive connection between the bat-

tery clamps and the charger.

7. A ﬂickering between the lamps for charging and fully charged could be caused by

several reasons.

a. A lost connection. This is most likely in the cabling but could also be internal. Put the

charger in STANDBY and try to restart.

b. A lightly sulphated battery. The ﬂickering will end within 60 minutes if the battery could

be recovered. The battery cannot be recharged if the ﬂickering continues.

c. A battery with high self discharge could be seen when the Fully charged lamp is on for

10 seconds and more, combined with a short Charge indication. Such a battery is at

the end of its life and needs to be replaced.

8. The charging could be interrupted at any time by disconnecting the supply cord or by

setting the charger in Stand by. Removing the ground lead ﬁrst when disconnecting the

battery leads from a battery in a vehicle.
