TecMate Optimate Milenco 20 Mode D'emploi page 6

NOTES ON TEST RESULTS:
1. For any test result other than green #6 (or green #6 and yellow #7 together if the battery is a STD type with filler caps), disconnect
the battery from the electrical system it supports, and reconnect the Milenco. If a better test result is now obtained, this suggests
that the power losses are partly due to an electrical problem in the electrical system and not in the battery itself. If the poor result
persists, you are advised to take the battery to a professional service workshop equipped with professional equipment for a more
thorough investigation.
2. If the red LED #8 alone, or the yellow #7 and red LED #8 indicate together (or yellow LED alone for a sealed battery), a significant
problem exists. The red / yellow+red LEDs mean that after being charged the battery's voltage is not being sustained or that despite
recovery attempts the battery was irrecoverable. This may be due to a defect in the battery itself, such as a short-circuited cell or
total sulphation, or, in the case of a battery still connected to the electrical system it supports, the red LED #8 may be signalling a
loss of current through deteriorated wiring or a degraded switch or contact, or in-circuit current-consuming accessories. A sudden
load being switched on while the charger is connected can also cause the battery voltage to dip significantly.
3. GOOD TEST RESULT, but the battery cannot deliver sufficient power: Permanent damage within the battery may be causing
excessive self discharge that is not detected within the test period of 12 hours. Disconnect the battery from the Milenco. After at
least 48 hours reconnect and observe the result during the TEST BEFORE CHARGE.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS:
The Milenco will maintain a battery whos basic condition is good, for
months at a time. At least once every two weeks, check that the connections between the charger and battery are secure, and, in
the case of batteries with filler caps on each cell, disconnect the battery from the charger, check the level of the electrolyte and if
necessary, top up the cells (with distilled water, NOT acid), then reconnect. When handling batteries or in their vicinity, always take
care to observe the SAFETY WARNINGS above.
ECO POWER SAVING MODE WHEN THE CHARGER IS CONNECTED TO AC SUPPLY:
The power converter switches to ECO mode when the charger is not connected to a battery resulting in a very low power draw of
less than 0.5W, equivalent to power consumption of 0.012 kWh per day. When a battery is connected to the charger power
consumption depends on the current demand of the battery and its connected vehicle / electronic circuitry. After the battery has
been charged and the charger is in long term maintenance charge mode (to keep the battery at 100% charge) the total power
consumption is estimated to be 0.024kWh or less per day.
