Operating The Charger; Maintaining The Charger - Guest 2610 Owner's Manual

This battery charger is ideal for installations using two independent 12 Volt lead-acid or gel-cell
batteries connected in 12 VDC systems.
1. Check polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS., P, +) battery post usually has a
larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG., N, -) post.
2. After securing the battery connections, plug the AC line cord into an available AC outlet that is
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker.

4. OPERATING THE CHARGER

The LED Function Chart below describes the charging process.
Display
When the red LED is on, it indicates that your batteries are discharged and
the 2610 is recharging them at the "BULK" rate (stage 1). This charging
Red
rate is 10 Amps.
While the red LED is on, the voltage measured (with the charger on) will be
Green
11.8 to 13 Volts.
If the red LED stays on for more than 24 hours, refer to Problem 1 in the
troubleshooting section in this manual.
When both the green and the red LED's are on, the 2610 is charging at an
"ABSORPTION" rate of between 3 and 9 Amps (stage 2). This mode of
Red
charging gradually "tops off" your batteries, and reduces harmful sulfating.
While both LED's are on, the voltage measured (with the charger on) should
Green
be approx. 13.5 to 14.5VDC.
If both lights stay on longer than 24 hours, refer to Problem 2 in the
troubleshooting section in this manual.
When the green LED is on, the 2610 is charging at a "FLOAT" or
Red
"MAINTENANCE" rate of less than 3 Amps, (stage 3). Your batteries are
now 90% charged and ready for use. This "float" charging current will
Green
gradually decrease to as low as 0.1 Amps as the batteries reaches 100%
charge. They will now be kept at full charge without over-charging.
If the green LED stays on when your battery is known to be low, refer to
Problem 3 in the troubleshooting section in this manual.

5. MAINTAINING THE CHARGER

Periodically clean both battery terminals with baking soda and tighten all connections. No
maintenance on the charger is required.
