Constant Current appears on LCD. PWR (green) and
CHG (green) LEDs are on solid. FAULT (red) LED is off,
and INV (green) LED could be on or off.
Figure 5-14, Constant Current Mode
• Constant Current (CCurrent) – The battery charger is delivering maximum current to the
batteries (determined by the Max Charge Amps setting under the SETUP button’s 03C Battery
Type: CC/CV menu). The charger will remain in Constant Current charge until the CV Charge Volts
or Max CC/CV Charge Time is reached (determined by the settings under the SETUP button’s 03C
Battery Type: CC/CV menu).
Note: This status only displays if “CC/CV” has been selected from the SETUP button’s 03C Battery
Type menu.
Constant Voltage appears on LCD. PWR (green) and
CHG (green) LEDs are on solid. FAULT (red) LED is off,
and INV (green) LED could be on or off.

Figure 5-15, Constant Voltage Mode
• Constant Voltage (CVoltage) – This mode begins when the CV Ch Volts is reached (determined
by the settings under the SETUP button’s 03C Battery Type: CC/CV menu) while in the Constant
Current charge mode. During this stage, the DC charging current decreases in order to maintain
the absorb voltage setting. This charge stage continues until the 03D Absorb Done (Time, Amps,
or SOC) or 03E Max Charge: Time setting is reached.
Note: This status only displays if “CC/CV” has been selected from the SETUP button’s 03C Battery
Type menu.
Equalizing appears on LCD. PWR (green) and CHG
(green) LEDs are on solid. FAULT (red) LED is off, and
INV (green) LED could be on or off.
• Equalizing (Equalize) – This display indicates the charger is delivering the equalize voltage
to the batteries based on the equalize voltage from Table 3-1 for your battery type.
Equalize charging can be enabled by the ON/OFF CHARGER button—if the SETUP button’s 03C
Battery Type setting allows. Equalization charging can only be enabled while the charger is in
Float Charge, Full Charge, or Silent Charge mode. To turn on Equalize charging, ensure the LCD
display reads “Float Charging”, “Full Charge” or “Silent”, and then press and hold down the ON/
OFF CHARGER button (about 5 seconds) until the LCD screen displays “Equalizing”.
The Equalize charge continues for four hours and then automatically stops and returns to the
previous charge mode. The Equalize charge can be manually stopped by pressing and holding
down the ON/OFF CHARGER button (about 5 seconds) until the LCD screen leaves “Equalizing”
and then leaves “Charger Standby” and shows the previous charge mode (i.e., Float Charge, Full
Charge, or Silent Charge mode).
WARNING: Equalizing produces hydrogen and oxygen gas. To avoid explosions, ensure
the battery compartment has adequate ventilation in order to dissipate this gas.
