OVER-DISCHARGED BATTERIES
An “over-discharged” voltage state is caused by leaving a battery
operated device unattended and allowing the battery to drain beyond the
low voltage warning point of the equipment and/or the “Flashing 15
minute segment” indication on the LCD of the DIGITAL battery.
Low voltage over-discharged batteries can also be caused by allowing
batteries to remain off the charger for extended periods. Returning
batteries to the Logic Series Lifesaver Charger as soon as possible after
use, and leaving batteries in the Lifesaver mode until just prior to using
will avoid this type of over-discharge condition.
A battery that has been inadvertently allowed to become over-discharged
will automatically trigger a special rejuvenation routine contained in all
Anton/Bauer Logic Series Chargers. In such cases the red/green
alternating LED’s, on the charger, indicate that the automatic rejuvenation
cycle is bringing the battery back up to a safe charging voltage. When the
Logic Series Charger verifies there are no thermal violations, it will begin
a complete charge cycle (Red flashing LED).
In the extreme case that a battery is over-discharged, the rejuvenation
charge routine will not be initiated by the charger until all other batteries
have completed their fast charge routines. Therefore, an extremely over-
discharged battery can be installed on a Logic Series Charger without the
charger indicating recognition.
