Desulfation Mode; Completion Of Charge; Maintain Mode (Float Mode Monitoring); Maintaining A Battery - Motomaster CLASSIC Series Instruction Manual

DESULFATION MODE

If the battery is left discharged for an extended
period of time, it could become sulfated and not
accept a normal charge. If the charger detects
a sulfated battery, the charger will switch to a
special mode of operation designed for such
batteries. Normal charging will resume after the
battery is desulfated. Desulfation could take up to
10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging will abort
and the red LED will blink.

COMPLETION OF CHARGE

Charge completion is indicated by the Charged/
Maintaining (green) LED. When lit, the charger has
switched to the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the Charged/Maintaining (green) LED is lit,
the charger has started maintain mode. In this
mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged
by delivering a charge current when necessary. If
the charger has to provide an excessive 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.

MAINTAINING A BATTERY

This product charges and maintains 12 V
batteries. 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.

POWER-UP AUTO START

The charger is equipped with an auto-start feature
which is triggered only when the charger is first
powered up. If the Start button is not pressed within
30 seconds, the unit will search for a battery. If the
unit detects a battery that is properly connected,
the unit will set the rate to Boost Charge. The
charging process will automatically start, and the
Charging (yellow) LED will light.
