– grounded 120 Vac electrical outlet. The Power ON LED Indicator will
light
GREEN . If it does not light GREEN check the outlet to be sure it is
functioning. In addition, be sure if outlet is controlled by a switch, no one
will accidentally shut off the power to the outlet. Check for correct polarity
= (no ERROR
RED LED Indicator). If ERROR Indicator is lit, reverse the
charger’s output connections to the battery.
6. The Charge – Float LED Indicator will light GREEN . The charger will
now begin charging by first checking the battery to determine its voltage
and ability to accept a charge. Should the battery not have a normal fully
discharged voltage (
10.5V [ 12248 ] / 21.0V [ 24041 ] minimum) the unit will
begin charging in the “Soft-Start” mode to determine if the battery can
be safely charged. If it cannot, the Power ON – Error LED will flash
RED
and charging will be stopped. Battery should be carefully checked under
a load by a qualified person before further attempting to charge it.
7. No further effort should be made to charge this battery with this charger
or any charger. Discard this battery, unless it has just been subjected to a
long period of continuous discharge under a load such as can occur with
leaving lights on or cranking an engine excessively. Allow such a battery
to “Rest” for several hours (overnight if possible) before determining if it
is defective. Be very suspicious of any
12V / 24V battery that does not
have at least 11V / 22 Volts (OCV) before it is recharged. It may well be
seriously damaged and unsafe for any type of use or recharge. The unit’s
Battery Condition Indication LED will help you determine if battery is less
than
11 Volts / 22 Volts ( YELLOW ) or greater than 11 Volts / 22 Volts
( GREEN )
8. After battery has been fully charged, the GREEN Charge-Float LED
Indicator will begin blinking. It will continue to blink indefinitely, unless
unit is disconnected from battery. Should battery be unable to be fully
charged, the LED will not blink and the
RED Error LED will blink. Battery
may not be able to be fully charged, may be too large or too deeply
discharged to be fully charged in the normal time allowed by charger.
If you are certain battery is not defective, having read and understood
completely all of the above concerns and conditions, proceed to reboot
by unplugging unit from wall (A.C.), disconnecting from battery (D.C.),
and waiting 10 seconds. This allows charger to begin charging battery
again. If battery is not defective it should be able to be fully charged after
being restarted. After sufficient time has lapsed the
GREEN charge LED
Indicator will blink confirming when / if battery is now fully charged.
