A. Charge Status Indicator
This battery charger has an easy-to-follow 4-LED charge status indicator: 25%, 50%,75%,100%. This
indicator provides an estimate of the battery's state of charge as charging progresses. During charging, the
corresponding state of charge LED will be flashing. When the 100% LED lights solid (i.e., stops flashing), the
battery is fully charged and the charger has entered the Maintain stage (see Understanding the Multi-stage
Charging Process).

B. Fault/Error Indicator
The charger will continuously monitor charge progress and collect feedback from the battery during
charging. In the event an abnormal condition is detected, charging will stop and the
indicate one of three possible error conditions:
Power ON but no battery detected: Check to ensure that clamp connections to the battery posts are
Amber (solid) clean and solid. If connections are good, the battery is severely discharged (<1.5 V) and may be
unsafe to charge. The battery should be tested or replaced.
Fault /error: Charging aborted due to some abnormality detected such as a defective battery or
Red (flashing)
short circuit (see Troubleshooting).
Red (solid) Reverse polarity: Reverse clamp connections.
C. Charging Modes
There are 6 charging modes to choose from. Pressing the MODE button repeatedly to cycle through each of
the four regular modes. To select the two special modes (RECONDITIONING or POWER SUPPLY), hold the
MODE button for 3 seconds. Charging will automatically begin about 5 seconds after the charge mode has
been selected.
NOTE: The battery charger will retain the last selected mode in memory. In the event AC power is disrupted
(e.g., power failure), the charger will re-start in the last selected mode once power is restored.
