STORAGE
If the caravan is to be stored for a long period of time, first fully charge the
battery and ensure all loads are disconnected. Recharge the battery at least
once every 6 months. Regular recharging will prevent the battery from
becoming deeply discharged—a condition which can significantly shorten
battery life.
DEEPLY DISCHARGED BATTERIES
This battery charger is not designed to charge deeply discharged batteries.
Its effectiveness in charging such a battery is a function of the depth of
discharge and the battery size. Bigger (higher capacity) batteries will be
more troublesome in this respect.
In normal use a battery connected to the Genius-II should never become
deeply discharged, so recharging it should never be a problem.
If a battery has become deeply discharged and the Genius-II will not charge
it, remove the battery (see Battery Connection/Disconnection Procedure on
page 10) and charge it with a stand-alone charger. Once the battery voltage
has recovered to normal levels and the charge current is less than 15 A, it
may be reinstalled.
WARNING
Do not install battery in the same compartment
where flammable material such as petrol is stored.
