Maintenance And Care - Schumacher Electric SE-82-6-CA Manual Del Usuario

CHARGING A BATTERY OUTSIDE OF
THE VEHICLE
1. Place battery in a well-ventilated area.
2. Clean the battery terminals.
3. Connect a 24-inch long, 6-gauge (AWG)
insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) battery post (i.e., jumper
cable) (not provided).
4. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to
the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post.
5. Position yourself and the "negative post
extension" cable as far away from the
battery as possible, and connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the cable's
free end.
6. Connect the charger to the electrical outlet.
7. When charging is complete, disconnect
the charger from the AC power,
disconnect the negative clamp, and finally
the positive clamp.
8. A marine (boat) battery must be removed
and charged on shore.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with an
auto-start feature. Current will not be
supplied to the battery clamps until a battery
is properly connected. The clamps will not
spark if touched together.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an Automatic Charge is performed,
the charger switches to the maintain mode
automatically after the battery is charged.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off and the
CHARGING
flash. To reset after an aborted charge,
unplug the charger from the AC outlet, wait
a few moments and plug it back in.
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.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours.
If desulfation fails, charging will abort and
the CHARGING
will flash.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the
CHARGED/MAINTAINING
When pulsing, the charger has switched to
the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE (FLOAT-MODE
MONITORING)
When the CHARGED/MAINTAINING
(green) LED is pulsing, the charger has
started maintain mode. In this mode, the
charger keeps the battery fully charged by
delivering a small current when necessary.
If the charger has to provide its maximum
maintain current for a continuous 12 hour
period, it will go into abort mode (see
Aborted Charge section). This is usually
caused by a drain on the battery or the
battery could be bad. Make sure there are
no loads on the battery. If there are, remove
them. If there are none, have the battery
checked or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The SE-82-6-CA charges and maintains
both 6 and 12 volt batteries, keeping them
at full charge.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology
allows you to safely charge and maintain a
healthy battery for extended periods of time.
However, problems with the battery, electrical
problems in the vehicle, improper
connections or other unanticipated conditions
could cause excessive current draws. As
such, occasionally monitoring your battery
and the charging process is required.
• 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, in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not
store the clamps clipped together, on the
handle, on or around metal, or clipped to
the cables.
