If the terminal voltage has not passed the voltage limit within the time limit, the charger switches to fault mode (Step 3 lamp solid) and discontinues the charging. If so, the battery is faulty or its capacity is too large. Absorption (Constant Voltage) Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100% battery capacity.
- Page 7 3.SWITCHMODE TECHNOLOGY Using the latest technology in battery chargers, switch mode chargers convert 110V/220-240V AC power to 12V/24V DC power using electronic components unlike traditional battery chargers that rely on heavy transformers. This allows the charger to be light weight and compact without sacrificing on performance. 4.PROTECTIVE FEATURES POLARITY PROTECTION Prevents the output leads from sparking due to accidental reverse connection...

- Page 19 11. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 8-stage chargers are designed for indoor, out of weather use only. Ensure that both charger and battery are in a well-ventilated space during charging. The battery charger end plates include a mounting flange for easy mounting. If permanently fixed the charger should be mounted to a suitable horizontal or vertical panel, with at least 10cm clearance from the end plates to provide adequate ventilation for the cooling fan.
