DESULFATION MODE
If the 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.
If successful, normal charging will resume
after the battery is desulfated. Desulfation
could take up to 8 hours. If desulfation
fails, charging will abort, the red LED will
light, and the display will scroll "CHARGE
ABORTED-BAD BATTERY".

17. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can keep your
battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are
finished charging. Wipe off any battery
fluid that may have come in contact with
the clamps, to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the
charger with a soft cloth will keep the
finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off, the red
LED will light, and the display will scroll
"CHARGE ABORTED-BAD BATTERY".
Do not continue attempting to charge this
battery. Have it checked or replaced.

"CHARGE ABORTED-BAD BATTERY"
(Red LED solid) – Circumstances that could
cause an Abort situation during charging:
• The battery is severely sulfated or has a
shorted cell and can't reach a full charge.
• The battery is too large or there is a
bank of batteries and it doesn't reach full
charge within a set time period.
Circumstances that could cause an Abort
situation during maintain:
• The battery is severely sulfated or has a
weak cell and will not hold a charge.
• There is a large draw on the battery and
the charger has to supply its maximum
maintain current for a 12 hour period to
keep the battery at full charge.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly
when storing the charger. This will help
prevent accidental damage to the cords
and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC
power outlet.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not
store the clamps clipped together, on or
around metal, or clipped to the cables.
