aborted charge, either disconnect the battery or unplug the charger.
DESULFATION MODE:12.4 If a battery is left discharged for an extended
period of time, it could become sulfated and not accept a normal charge. If
the charger detects a sulfated battery, the charger will switch to a special
mode of operation designed for such batteries. Activation of the special
desulfation mode is indicated by the CHARGING (yellow) LED blinking.
If successful, normal charging will resume after the battery is desulfated.
The CHARGING (yellow) LED will then stop blinking and light continu-
ously. Desulfation could take up to 10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging
will abort and the CHECK (red) LED will blink.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE: 12.5 Charge completion is indicated by the
CHARGED (green) LED. When lit, the charger has stopped charging and
switched to the Maintain Mode of operation. If the 12V DEEP CYCLE
battery type was selected for other charge types, the CHARGED (green)
LED comes on when the battery is charged enough for normal use.
MAINTAIN MODE12.6 : When the CHARGED (green) LED is lit, the charger
has started Maintain Mode. This mode of operation is also known as
Float-Mode Monitoring. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully
charged by delivering a small current, when necessary. The voltage
is maintained at a level determined by the BATTERY TYPE selected.
NOTE: For charge types other than DEEP CYCLE, the CHARGED LED
might be lit before Maintain Mode is started.
GENERAL CHARGING NOTES:12.7 The charger is designed to control its
cooling fan for efcient operation. Consequently, it is normal for the fan to
start and stop when maintaining a fully charged battery. The fan does not
run in Tester Mode.
If the charge mode is changed after charging has started (by pressing the
CHARGE RATE or BATTERY TYPE button), the charging process will
restart.
The voltage displayed during charging is the charging voltage and is usually
higher than the battery’s resting voltage.
