MAINTAINING A BATTERY
This unit maintains 12 volt batteries, keeping them at full charge. It can charge small
batteries and maintain both small and large batteries. If you are maintaining a fully
charged large battery, you are properly utilizing the battery charger. However, if you
use this battery charger to charge a large battery, such as a marine deep-cycle battery,
that was not fully charged, you may lose some of the battery's capacity. Therefore, we
do not recommend charging a large battery with this unit.
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.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging
aborts, the charger's output is shut off, the GREEN LED will flash, and the display
will show CHARGE ABORTED-BAD BATTERY. To reset after an aborted charge,
unplug the charger from the outlet, wait a few moments and plug it back in.
FAN: Your charger is equipped with a fan. It is normal for the fan to run while the
charger is charging. Keep the area near the charger free of obstructions, to allow
the fan to operate efficiently.
