Battery Charger Maintenance
USE CHARGER ONLY ON BATTERY SYSTEMS WITH AN ALGO-
RITHM SELECTED THAT IS APPROPRIATE TO THE SPECIFIC BAT-
TERY TYPE. OTHER USAGE MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND
DAMAGE.
LEAD ACID BATTERIES MAY GENERATE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN
GAS DURING NORMAL OPERATION. KEEP SPARKS, FLAMES,
AND SMOKING MATERIALS AWAY FROM BATTERIES. PROVIDE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION DURING CHARGING. NEVER CHARGE A
FROZEN BATTERY.
STUDY ALL BATTERY MANUFACTURERS' SPECIFIC PRECAU-
TIONS SUCH AS RECOMMENDED RATES OF CHARGE AND
REMOVING OR NOT REMOVING CELL CAPS WHILE CHARGING.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CONNECT CHARGER POWER CORD TO
AN OUTLET THAT HAS BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED AND
GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL CODES AND ORDI-
NANCES. A GROUNDED OUTLET IS REQUIRED TO REDUCE RISK
OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - DO NOT USE GROUND ADAPTERS OR MOD-
IFY PLUG. DO NOT TOUCH UNINSULATED PORTION OF OUTPUT
CONNECTOR OR UNINSULATED BATTERY TERMINAL. DISCON-
NECT THE AC SUPPLY BEFORE MAKING OR BREAKING THE CON-
NECTIONS TO THE BATTERY WHILE CHARGING. DO NOT OPEN
OR DISASSEMBLE CHARGER. DO NOT OPERATE CHARGER IF THE
AC SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED OR IF THE CHARGER HAS
RECEIVED A SHARP BLOW, BEEN DROPPED, OR OTHERWISE
DAMAGED IN ANY WAY - REFER ALL REPAIR WORK TO QUALI-
FIED PERSONNEL. NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN.

DANGER
5. For flooded lead-acid batteries, regularly check
water levels of each battery cell after charging and
add distilled water as required to level specified by
battery manufacturer. Follow the safety instruc-
tions recommended by the battery manufacturer.
6. Make sure charger connections to battery termi-
nals are tight and clean.
7. Do not expose charger to oil or to direct heavy
water spraying when cleaning vehicle.
Battery Charger Troubleshooting
No Lights at all
No Lights at all indicate that AC power to the charger is
1
not connected or that the AC voltage is too low. It could
3
also indicate an internal failure in the charger.
1. Check the connections to AC power. Check for AC
voltage between 90 and 260 VAC at the charger.
2. If the AC voltage is verified to be correct at the
connection to the charger, and the charger still
displays no lights at all, return the charger for ser-
vice.
FAULT LED Flashing
The Fault LED flashes to indicate the micro-controller
inside the battery charger has detected a fault. The fault
detected is indicated by the number of flashes. Count
the number of flashes to determine the fault.
With any battery system, the most common problem
will be a faulty battery connection. Because of the high
likelihood of a battery connection problem, it is always
worthwhile to confirm that all connections are good
before checking for any other problems.
[1 Flash] - High Battery Voltage
1. Indicates a high battery voltage. Check that the
battery charger voltage is consistent with the bat-
tery pack voltage. The first two digits of the four
digit model name indicate the battery voltage the
charger supports.
2. Check for wiring errors.
3. This fault will automatically clear and the charger
will restart charging when this problem is
removed.
4. High battery voltage could also occur if there is
another source charging the battery. Disconnect
any other sources during charging.
5. If this problem does not clear after the battery
voltage is confirmed to be less than 2.4V per cell,
return the charger for service.
