TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED VCO – for HyTRON series of
batteries. Similar to a VCO, however, only operates within certain temperature
parameters.
2. Stage Two charging is a BALANCING or “equalize” mode which calculates each
battery pack type to offset any imbalance of the battery’s cells, created by unequal
self discharge or any capacity mismatch of the individual cells in the pack. This
stage can vary in duration from zero to as much as 16 hours, depending on the
condition of the battery. A battery will typically leave Stage Two in 2-4 hours
under average operating conditions.
3. Stage Three charging is the Anton/Bauer exclusive Lifesaver maintenance
mode. This patented pulse routine keeps batteries fully charged, free from self-
discharge - indefinitely - without damaging heat associated with so-called
“trickle charge”.
NOTE: Anton/Bauer strongly recommends that batteries are kept on the TWIN until
ready for use. The Lifesaver mode will keep them 100% charged and
ready for use.
Removal of AC Mains Power
Anton/Bauer recommends that batteries remain on the charger and plugged into AC
mains for best results. If AC mains power is removed, it is highly recommended that
the batteries be removed from the charger, thus avoiding any additional self-discharge
by the battery.
LED Indications
Each charge position of a TWIN has a pair of LEDs (one red, one green) that indicate
the status of the battery attached to that position. The following table identifies all of
the TWIN indications and their meaning:
LED INDICATION MEANING
Alternating
Red & Green
Indicates that the TWIN is evaluating the battery and/or
communicating with a DIGITAL battery, loading battery
parameters and determining the appropriate charge routine. A
low voltage (<11V) battery will cause this indication to continue
until the battery is “rejuvenated” to a safe charging voltage.
NOTE: This indication will continue if a non-Anton/Bauer Logic
Series battery is mounted on the charger. These batteries cannot
identify themselves to the TWIN and will not be charged.
Steady Red Indicates that the battery is being held by the TWIN to stabilize an
out-of-range temperature condition.
Flashing Red Indicates that the battery is currently under Stage One charge.
Flashing Green Indicates that the battery is currently under Stage Two charge.
Steady Green Indicates that the battery is READY and in Stage Three Lifesaver
mode.
NOTE: In some cases, a battery may be discharged to a very low voltage level
at which the battery is unrecognizable to the charger when first
