Note: If the battery does not have a mini-
mum 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 bat-
tery 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 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 restart
the charger by pressing and holding the Stop/Restart
button for approx. 5 seconds until all LEDs Flash.
This allows charger to begin charging battery again.
