OTHER LEDs AND FEATURES

Battery Status LEDs

Connected (red LED) – Indicates that the charger is
properly connected to the battery.
• If the charger does not detect a properly
connected battery, the CONNECTED LED will
not light. Charging will NOT begin if the
CONNECTED LED is not on.
Charging (yellow LED) – Indicates the charger has
detected a battery and is charging it.
Charged (green LED) – Indicates the battery is
fully charged and the charger is in maintain mode.
• Completion of Charge is indicated by the
CHARGED LED. When lit, the charger has switched to the Maintain Mode of operation.
• M aintain Mode (Float-Mode Monitoring) – When the CHARGED LED is lit, the charger has started
Maintain Mode. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a small
current when necessary.

Modes

• A borted Charge – If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging
aborts, the charger's output is shut off and the digital display will show a failure code (see the
TROUBLESHOOTING section for a description of the failure codes). In that state, the charger ignores
all buttons. To reset after an aborted charge, turn the Function Control switch to the OFF (O)
position. Then place the Function Control switch back in the previous position and reset all of the
controls to the desired settings.
NOTE: 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, above). 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.
• D esulphation Mode – If the battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, it could
become sulphated and not accept a normal charge. If the charger detects a sulphated battery,
the charger will switch to a special mode of operation designed for such batteries. If successful,
normal charging will resume after the battery is desulphated. Desulphation could take up to
8 hours. If desulphation fails, charging will abort, and the digital display will show a failure code
of F02 (Bad Battery).
