If the battery fails to reach a CHARGE COMPLETE condition within a specified time limit, charging will stop
and the FAULT light will be lit. The time limit value is determined by the charger based on the nominal
charge rate chosen. In rare cases, such as charging extremely large batteries or charging a high capacity
two battery system, the time required to reach CHARGE COMPLETE may exceed the time limit. Below is
an example of the display when this condition occurs.

After charging is complete, turn off the Master Power Switch and unplug the charger from the AC power source.
Then, disconnect the charger clamp not connected directly to the battery first and DO NOT allow the clamp
to touch anything. Then, disconnect the charger clamp attached to the battery terminal. (See Connecting To
Batteries... at the beginning of this section.)
Stable Power Mode Sequence
Your PRO-LOGIX Battery Charger can also be used to supply steady power to maintain system voltage during
an on-vehicle repair. When using the charger in this mode, we recommend that the battery be fully charged. If
necessary, run a full charging cycle prior to engaging this mode. This mode will not activate if the vehicle's battery
is below 11.0VDC. Also, this operational mode is intended for use in a wide variety of repair applications, but is not
intended for use when flash reprogramming vehicle modules.
First, connect the charger to the vehicle (see previous section, Connecting to Batteries...). Once a proper
connection has been made, plug the unit into an AC outlet and turn the master Power Switch to the ON position.
Press the Function Selection button until the LED corresponding to "STABLE POWER" is lit.

To select a different battery voltage, nominal charge voltage or charge rate, press the TOGGLE button until value
arrow flashes. Press SELECT button to find the correct selection. Press TOGGLE again to set another value.

Once the desired value for all parameters are set, press START to begin Stable Power mode function. The display
will switch from set-up view to operational view and reflect specific details of the Stable Power mode function. An
example is shown below:

When the unit is operating in Stable Power mode, the charger will supply stable power with a goal of maintaining
steady system voltage at the desired voltage as indicated during set-up. The charger will allow the current supplied
to the battery/system to vary as needed to the maximum amperage indicated during set-up. If there is an increase
in system need, the charger will react to it and supply as much current, up to the maximum designated, as needed
to maintain system voltage.
Confirm battery/battery bank voltage is in
the normal range. Press START to restart charging.
