Charger (Esc3) Indicator Lamps - decon E-Drive PLUS User Manual

TIP Tips on charging
• It is recommended that you charge the battery while you are sleeping.
• Since the refresh charging process recharges after discharging all of its remaining
electricity, it will take a long time if you perform it on a battery with a high residual
capacity. It is recommended that you perform a refresh charging on a battery that
is drained as much as possible.

Charger (ESC3) Indicator Lamps

8
The charger (ESC3) for the nickel metal hydride battery has two types of lamps: the charge
lamp (green) and refresh lamp (orange). Each lamp comes on or flashes to indicate the bat-
tery and charging conditions.
The lamp indications are explained in the following table.
TIP • Standby mode may be activated, and the charge indicator lamp may flash green
once per second if the ambient temperature changes while the charger is charging.
When the temperature is suitable for charging, the charge indicator lamp will stop
flashing and remain on green, and the charging operation will automatically re-start.
• If standby conditions continue for a long time, the charge indicator lamp will start flashing
green rapidly (five times per second) and the charging operation will be terminated.
If this happens, unplug the charging plug and the power plug. Re-locate the charger
in accordance with "8.3.(1) Ambient temperatures" and try to charge the battery
again.
• The charger protection function may be activated by a change in the am-
bient temperature even while c harging is in pro gres s. In this c ase, the
c harge indic ator lamp will f lash red and the c harger will stop c harging.
If this happens, unplug the charging plug and the power plug. Re-locate the charger
inaccordance with "8.3.(1) Ambient temperatures" and try to charge the battery again.
