Battery Explosion can cause severe injury or death. Battery gases can cause an explosion. Do not smoke or permit flame or spark to occur near a battery at any time, particularly when it is being charged. Avoid contacting WARNING terminals with tools, etc. to prevent burns and to prevent Sulfuric acid in batteries.
Introduction This TT includes the following kits: 12-Volt Charger Lead-Acid Battery (6-cell) PA-320741 through PA-320764 and 24-Volt Charger Lead-Acid Battery (12-cell) PA-320741-SD through PA-320764-SD Determine input voltage and type of battery(ies) to be This manual contains important safety and operating charged.
Specifications The automatic battery charger is designed to charge The control circuit board continuously monitors the maintain lead-acid nickel-cadmium battery and load conditions to maintain the battery’s automotive-type batteries in a fully charged state proper state of charge.

3. The charge rate the charger is delivering to the Bubbles appear at the surface of the battery battery is indicated on the ammeter. The charger fluid. This indicates a battery that is 80 to 85% control circuit limits the maximum charging charged.
Checking Specific Gravity (Lead-Acid Batteries) Use a battery hydrometer to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each battery cell. While holding the hydrometer vertically, read the number on the glass bulb at the top of the electrolyte level. The battery is fully charged if the specific gravity is 1.260 at an electrolyte temperature of 80 F (26.7 C).
Charger Voltage Adjustment The battery charger’s output settings are factory set and Factory Output Settings normally require no customer adjustment. If adjustment Charger Float Current is required, contact an authorized distributor for service Voltage Voltage Limit or service literature. The factory settings are listed below.
Troubleshooting Problem Remedy No Ammeter Reading 1. Check charger connections to battery for correct polarity. 2. Turn off AC supply prior to rechecking the battery charger for clean, tight connections. 3. Check for AC at the charger terminal strip. 4. Check AC input and DC output fuses. 5.
Standard Accessories Current Limiting The charger is protected from overload by its current to 2 amps from full load to short circuit. current-limiting circuitry. This circuitry continuously Therefore, no crank disconnect is required when the monitors the charger output current and is set to limit the plant is exercised.
