BATTERY CHARGING TIMES
Ah = Amp Hour
BATTERY SIZE/RATING
SMALL BATTERIES
Motorcycle, garden tractor, etc.
Times are based on a 50% discharged battery and may change, depending on
age and condition of battery.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an Automatic Charge is performed, the charger switches to the Maintain
Mode (see below) automatically after the battery is charged. For a battery with a
starting voltage under 1 volt, use a manual charger to pre-charge the battery for
five minutes to get additional voltage into the battery.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off and the RED LED will flash. To reset after an aborted
charge, unplug the charger from the AC outlet, wait a few moments and plug it back in.
DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging will abort and the
RED LED will flash.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the GREEN LED. When pulsing, the charger has
switched to the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE (FLOAT-MODE MONITORING)
When the GREEN LED is pulsing, the charger has completed the charging mode
and started maintain mode. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully
charged by delivering a small current when necessary. If the charger has to provide
its maximum maintain current for a continuous 12 hour period, it will go into abort
mode (see Aborted Charge section). This is usually caused by a drain on the battery
or the battery could be bad. Make sure there are no loads on the battery. If there
are, remove them. If there are none, have the battery checked or replaced.
