The test button for battery health on the ARK Powerpack DA10W may not work after installing a new battery if the battery isolator switch is in the off position. The isolator switch must be turned on for the LED condition/charge indicator to function.

Using smartcharge The Powerpack smart charge is based upon an advanced software program that monitors your battery. Smart charge will select from the following auto charge cycles to optimise your battery’s performance. The auto charge cycles are as follows: Charge Recovers a flat battery to a peak voltage.

Resting Allows the battery to consolidate after boosting. Charger ceases charging to allow the battery to rest while allowing voltage to normalize at 12.8V. Then proceeds to conditioning. Conditioning Maintains performance and prolong battery life. Battery charge is maintained at 12.8V. at 0.1A the battery is continually monitored and the charging current is automatically adjusted to maintain battery voltage at 12.8V for a period of 500 hours then proceeds to re-waken.
