Charging Batteries
Before you start to charge batteries read the “Important
Safety Instructions” on page v and follow all safety
precautions when working with batteries.
To charge your batteries:
1. If possible, disconnect any heavy loads on the batteries
beaing charged, by opening disconnect switches or by
switching the loads off.
2. Connect the batteries to the charger by closing the DC
disconnect switches.
NOTE: The onboard display LEDs will light up for a
second.
3. Ventilate the area around the battery thoroughly during
charging.
Review the charging instructions supplied by the
manufacturer of your batteries and follow all safety
precautions and the required steps.
4. Apply AC power to the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger
by:
• closing the AC breaker or
• turning the generator on.
All onboard display indicator LEDs will illuminate for
one second (power on test) as the initialization sequence
runs.
After initialization, the indicator LEDs will display
present status and settings. At this point, changes in
Battery Type, Battery Temperature, and/or Charger
Mode can then be applied.
These settings are stored in memory and need not be
entered after every initialization.
During charging, the Charging Output (%) LEDs will
show the total current being delivered to the battery bank
as well as any DC load applied. The charger fan may
activate as well.
