BATTERY CHARGING SETTINGS
Upon making a proper battery connection (see Section
F or G as applicable), plug AC power cord into an AC
receptacle. All unit LEDs will light momentarily, then only
the LEDs corresponding to charging settings should stay
lit. The charger is now in Standby Mode.
If an ERROR Indicator LED lights, disconnect from AC
power supply immediately and determine the cause of the
alarm. The POLARITY light indicates reverse polarity error
connection, while the ERROR light indicates the detection
of a battery fault, such as a shorted connection.
To charge a battery:
1. Choose a battery voltage charge setting. The default
setting is the 12V mode, which will apply to most
charging applications. To charge in 6V mode, push
the voltage setting button until the "6V" LED is lit.
2. Choose a battery type setting. To charge Standard
and Maintenance Free Flooded Acid batteries, push
the Battery Type button until the "FLD" LED is lit. To
charge AGM and Spiral Wound batteries, push the
Battery Type button until the "AGM" LED is lit. To
charge Lithium Iron Phosphate starting batteries, push
the Battery Type button until the "LiFe" LED is lit.
Note: When charging lithium batteries, please
note that there are many different lithium battery
chemistries. The Lithium charging setting on this
charger is specifically for Lithium Iron Phosphate
(LiFePO4) batteries and only these lithium batteries.
The charger should never be used for charging any
other lithium battery type.
3. Press the "CHARGE" button and the charging
indicator LED will light. The charger will automatically
commence and complete the charging process. If you
press the "CHARGE" button at any point during the
charging sequence, the charger will stop charging and
return to Standby Mode.
Note: If the ERROR LED lights, disconnect from AC
power immediately and determine the cause of the
alarm. See Additional Features for a list of conditions
that might cause this warning.
Note: The charger is designed to protect against faults
and shorts (see Battery Charger Features). If the
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AGM
battery to be charged has an open circuit voltage of
less than 1V, the charger will indicate a fault. If, after
unplugging unit, checking connections and verifying
all settings, you determine the problem causing the
"fault" condition is battery voltage below 1V, you can
override the charger's protection by holding down the
"CHARGE" button for 3 seconds. The charger will
commence the charging sequence and, assuming
there are no other hindrances that caused the fault
indication, will complete the charging process and
automatically turn off when the battery has reached
full charge.
4. When the battery approaches full charge and enters
the Completion Phase, the green CHARGING
COMPLETE indicator will light and the CHARGING IN
PROGRESS indicator will flash. At this point, if time
is critical, the battery can be put into service if it will be
used in a charging situation, such as in a vehicle that
that will be used immediately. To reach a true 100%
state of charge, the charger should stay connected
until the charger reaches the Rest Phase, when only
the green CHARGING COMPLETE is lit.
Note: The charger is equipped with the ability to react
to the interruption of power (power outage) in two
different ways. To learn how to program the charger
to meet your specific needs when such an event
occurs, see Recovery Mode in the Additional Features
Section.
5. When you are finished with the charging process,
disconnect AC power cord from AC outlet, then
disconnect DC leads from vehicle ground (if charging
with battery in vehicle) and battery in the reverse
sequence of the connection procedure.
Low Energy Consumption Mode
Note: The charger is designed to minimize energy
consumption as much as possible. If the unit is in
standby mode for 10+ minutes without a key pressed,
the POWER LED will flash and the RM LED will be lit
solid (if RM is engaged). If the unit is in charge mode
and has reached the rest phase, the VOLT, TYPE and
CHARGED LEDs will flash slowly. At any time, you
can wake the display by pressing any button.
