TDMC+ Teledyne Dual Mode Charger
Teledyne Battery Products recommends you read the entire user manual before assembling and using
the battery charger. For any questions or concerns please email support:
support@teledynebattery.com
Quick Reference
• Connect (or Disconnect) a battery only when the charger is either
unplugged from AC (off) or when the display indicates "-not
charging-".
• For proper polarity connect the Positive (Red / +) charging cable to
the Positive terminal on the battery. Connect the Negative (Black /
-) charging cable to the Negative terminal on the battery.
Reversing these connections will result in the charger displaying a
"Reverse Polarity" error.
• When not charging, the charger screen looks similar to the
illustration shown on the right. The screen is organized in 6 sections as denoted by letters A-F:
• Battery Voltage and Battery Current shown in Screen Section E: this information is shown in
all modes and updates continuously.
▪ Indicated Voltage will be 00.0V when a battery is not connected; or will reflect the
voltage of a connected battery.
▪ Indicated Amperage will be 00.0A
• Charger Operational Status shown in Screen Section F: indicates whether the charger is "not
charging" and idle, or if a charge cycle is in process.
• Charger Voltage mode: User selects charger voltage for 12V or 24V operation as appropriate
for the battery to be charged by pressing the button in Screen Section A.
▪ Caution: If a 12V battery is charged with a 24V charge curve the battery may be
overcharged causing potentially serious damage.
▪ Caution: if a 24V battery is charged with a 12V charge curve the battery may be
undercharged, potentially damaging the battery. Please refer to the LT batteries CMM,
Section 5.1.2, 5.1.3, and section 5.1.4 page 11.
• Charger Current mode: User selects for 6A to 1A as appropriate for the battery to be charged
by pressing the button in Screen Section B.
▪ Caution: Always follow battery Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) guidance.
• Charge Cycle End Condition: User selects amperage or time limited charge by pressing the
button in Screen Section C.
▪ Amperage (.5A) – the charger will follow a three-stage charge mode recommended for
use with all normally discharged lead-acid batteries.
The final stage of the three-stage mode is a constant float maintenance charge. The
battery may be left on constant float and will maintain charge until use.
▪ Time-Limited (65 hours to 10 hours) – the charger will follow a two-stage charge mode
recommended for use with deeply discharged or sulphated lead-acid batteries. Follow
CMM and see guidance (section 6) for calculating the recommended time limit.
• Go! Button: User initiated charge cycle
▪ After confirming charger configuration, press the button in Screen Section D to start the
charge cycle.
