2000 Series BatteryMINDer ® part that may cause explosion. g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn. h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. -
Page 6: Dc Connection Precautions
2000 Series BatteryMINDer ® e) Do not set a battery on top of charger. 14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS a) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting any charger switches to “off” position and removing ac cord from electric outlet.

Page 10: Indicator Light Details
2000 Series BatteryMINDer ® Float (sometimes called Maintenance) is the charger’s long term • stage. The charger can and should be left connected indefinitely. This will keep the battery fully charged ensuring no sulfate can form. The charger maintains float voltage FV* (See Voltage Table) using very little power as it actively monitors the battery and adjusts its output several times a second. -
Page 11: Temperature Compensation
2000 Series BatteryMINDer ® Desulfation light flashes BLUE • any time the unit is desulfating. The BatteryMINDer desulfates any time it is outputting current. • Temperature Compensation light is GREEN if the temperature BLUE is over 27°C/80°F, if the temperature is under 21°C/70°F. BatteryMINDer Model 2012 includes an ambient temperature sensor which allows it to vary the output voltage as necessary to properly charge your battery (-0.025 V/°C). -
