Abnormal Shutdowns:

High Battery Reject- Initial battery voltage higher
than expected per the charger's capabilities or
cell count setting. Halo will turn red and screen
will display "High Battery Voltage Detect-
ed Unable to Charge"
Battery Overtemperature- Battery has exceeded
the max temperature setting and is cooling
down. Halo will show solid Red and screen will
display "Battery Over Temperature Detected
Cooling Down". Once the battery cools down,
charging will continue.
Low Voltage Shutdown- This shutdown will occur
if cell voltage does not rise above the following
levels in the indicated time frame: On screen
message: "Charge Curve Error Minimum
Charge Slope Not Met"
Voltage
Charge Time (Minutes)
> 1.7VPC
>1.8VPC
>1.9VPC
Charge Curve Voltage Error- On screen message
text: "Charge Curve Error Unable to Reach Tar-
get CV". This is to indicate to the user that the
charger cannot charge the battery properly due
to battery problems, charger problems or mis-
matched equipment.
Low Current Shutdown- Predetermined level is
below 2 amps for greater than 30 seconds. On
screen message: "Charge Curve Error Low
Current"
High Current Shutdown- Charger output current
is higher than expected. This error is triggered
when output is 5 amps above the desired out-
put for longer than 30 seconds and the charge
controller is unable to compensate for it. Halo
is solid red. On screen message: "Charge
Curve Error Over Current".
Manual Stop- On screen message: "Manual Stop".
This should only be present if the Manual Stop
button has been pressed while the charger is
running.
Backup Timer- Charger recognizes that the bat-
tery is not charging properly due to a lack of
increased voltage as the charge occurs. On
screen message: "Charge Session Timeout".

Over Max AH Returned- Without a BID this will trip
at 125% of total battery amp hour. 150% with a
BID. For an equalize charge, it is 150% without
a bid and 175% with a BID. On screen mes-
sage: "Charge Error Over AH Returned"
Charger Overtemperature Shutdown- Charger
cabinet temperature high, charging
stopped. Halo is solid red, onscreen message:
"Charger Over Temperature Error"
Charge Curve Error DiDt- Indicates an increase in
current over time. Current should decrease
when it hits gassing voltage. On screen mes-
sage "Charge Curve Error DI/DT"
Charge Engine Error- All power modules are of-
fline, unable to charge. Halo is solid red, on
screen message: "Charge Engine Error"
BID Battery Reject- Battery type described by BID/
WBID device is not compatible with this
charger. Halo is solid red, on screen message
reads: "BID Battery Reject"
Arcless Subsystem Error- A problem was detect-
30
ed in the arcless detection circuit that prevents
60
the unit from charging. Halo: Solid Red. On
90
screen message: "Arcless Subsystem Error"
