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 the charger by unplugging from
the wall (A.C.), disconnecting from the battery (D.C.) and waiting 10
seconds before reconnecting the battery and then the A.C. 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.
Note: If attempting to charge more than one battery at a time, it is
very likely the charger will need to be restarted as described in order
to completely charge multiple batteries. We do not recommend
charging more than one battery at a time. A better solution is to
charge each battery separately using your BatteryMINDer and
then connect them together, if desired for long term maintenance-
float charging. We suggest reading MAINTAINING MULTIPLE
BATTERIES, page 18, and the additional LED Indicator Functions,
page 11, not already covered above.
IMPORTANT!
Charging a Battery in a Tightly Confined Area
Charging a battery in a tightly confined area should always be
avoided as it can be dangerous, especially if battery is, has or
was:
1. Older than 2 years
2. Infrequently used without an approved maintenance aviation
specific charger being consistently used
3. Marginal at last capacity test
4. Not frequently checked for proper electrolyte level in each cell
5. Ever needed considerable water added, especially in one or
more cells vs. other cells needing far less
6. Different Specific Gravity (SG) readings-levels (cell to cell) or
has one or more cells reading less than 1.220 after being fully
charged, left to “Rest” 1 for a minimum of 12 hours (as we describe
repeatedly in all our Instruction Manuals)
WE NO LONGER ADVISE USE OF THE RING TERMINAL
ASSEMBLY (RTA) ON ANY BATTERY WHILE BATTERY IS
