Maintenance/Accessories - Exide 12/7 User Manual

Probable cause 2: Parallel load. If a piece of equipment that drains
current is connected to the battery, there is a risk that the capacity
of the charger is not sufficient to charge the battery within the time
constraints that are built into the charger for safety reasons.
Action: If possible, disconnect the parallel load and repeat charg-
ing, or purchase a larger charger suitable for both charge and drain.
Probable cause 3: Battery is too large. The battery is larger than
the recommended size for the charger, which means that the
charge could not be completed within the time constraints that
are built into the battery for safety reasons.
Action: Repeat charging.
Probable cause 4: The high temperature cut-out that monitors the
battery temperature has been triggered. The reason for the high
temperature could be that the battery has an internal fault,
or that the ambient temperature is high.
Action: If charging is carried out at room temperature, the high
temperature is probably caused by a battery fault or wear. The
battery should be replaced. If charging is taking place at a high
ambient temperature, charging may be resumed when the battery
has cooled to room temperature.
4.
Fault: The lamp does not come on when the charger is power
cable plugged into the mains socket.

The charger is fully maintenance-free. Note that there are no
user-serviceable parts, and opening the charger will invalidate the
warranty. If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by
the retailer. Do not use the charger if its cables, terminal clamps
or casing are damaged. The case may be cleaned using a soft,
damp rag and a mild detergent. The charger must be disconnected
from the mains when being cleaned. The charger is supplied with
terminal clamps on each cable. Connecting cables with ring cable
connectors for permanent fixture is enclosed in the box.
