6. The Charge – Float LED Indicator will light GREEN within
15 seconds. 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 (10.5-V 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. Note: If the battery does not
have a minimum no load OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) of 3 volts,
the ERROR LED will light RED and charger will reject battery.
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 12-V battery that does
not have at least 11-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 (Yellow)) or
greater than 11-Volts (GREEN)
7. 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 or Stop
/ Restart button is pressed. Should battery be unable to be
fully charged, 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
