The battery should remain on the charger until just prior to being used.
The patented Lifesaver maintenance routine keeps the battery 100% charged
and balanced by eliminating the typical self-discharge that can cripple a battery
that is stored for any length of time on the shelf. Do not remove the Logic
Series batteries from the charger more than 8 hours prior to actual use. For best
results, this battery should be returned to the Logic Series charger within 48
hours of being used. Please read the individual charger Owner’s Manual to
become acquainted with the many unique features of the Logic Series chargers.
“OVER-DISCHARGED” BATTERIES
An “over-discharged” voltage state is caused by leaving a battery operated
device unattended and allowing the battery to drain beyond the low voltage
warning point of the equipment.
Low voltage “over-discharged” batteries can also be caused by allowing
batteries to remain off the charger for extended periods. Returning batteries to
the Logic Series Lifesaver
®
Charger as soon as possible after use, and leaving
batteries in the Lifesaver mode until just prior to using will avoid this type of
“over-discharge” condition.
A battery that has been inadvertently allowed to become “over-discharged” will
automatically trigger a special rejuvenation routine contained in all
Anton/Bauer Logic Series Chargers. In such cases the red/green alternating
LED’s, on the charger, indicate that the automatic rejuvenation cycle is
bringing the battery back up to a safe charging voltage. When the Logic Series
Charger verifies there are no thermal violations, it will begin a complete charge
cycle (Red flashing LED).
In the extreme case that a battery is over-discharged, the rejuvenation charge
routine will not be initiated by the charger until all other batteries have
completed their fast charge routines. Therefore, an extremely over-discharged
battery can be installed on a Logic Series Charger without the charger
indicating recognition.
