in seconds. It starts at 5 and counts
down to 0.
3. Cool Down - After cranking, the char­
ger enters a mandatory 3-minute (180
second) cool down state. During this
period, no settings can be changed. The
buttons are ignored. The digital display
indicates the remaining cool down time
in seconds. It starts at 180 and counts
down toO. The 125A START LED blinks
once every second. During the cool
down period, no current is delivered to
the battery. After 3 minutes, the 125A
START LED will stop blinking and will
light continuously, indicating that an­
other crank cycle can be started. The
digital display will change from display­
ing the countdown back to displaying
the battery voltage. The CHARGING
LED will be lit again.
ENGINE STARTING NOTES:
• If the battery is disconnected during
the cool down period, the charger will
reset.
USING YOUR BATTERY CHARGER
OVERVIEW
Using this battery charger is very simple.
First, connect the battery and AC power
following the precautions listed under
“OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS”. Then
select the appropriate CHARGE TYPE and
CHARGE RATE for your battery. The char­
ger will then do everything automatically.
This section explains a few details.
CHARGING: If the charger does not
detect a properly connected battery, the
CHECK (red) LED will light continuously
until such a battery is detected. Charging
will not begin while the CHECK LED is on.
When charging begins, the CHARGING
LED will be lit.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF: When the 2A,
15A or 40A charge rate is selected, the
charger is set to perform an automatic
charge. When an automatic charge is
performed, the charger stops charging
automatically after the battery is charged.
ABORTED CHARGE: If charging can’t
be completed normally, charging will be
aborted. When charging is aborted, the
charger’s output is shut off and the red
CHECK LED and digital display blink on
and off (at opposite times). In that state, the
charger ignores all buttons. To reset from
after an aborted charge, either disconnect
the battery or unplug the charger.
DESULFATION MODE: If a battery is
left discharged for an extended period, it
could become sulfated and not accept a
normal charge. If the charger detects a
sulfated battery, the charger will switch to
a special mode of operation designed for
such batteries. Activation of the special
desulfation mode is indicated by blinking
the CHARGING LED. If successful, nor­
mal charging will resume after the battery
is desulfated. The CHARGING LED will
then stop blinking and light continuously.
Desulfation could take up to 10 hours. If
desulfation fails, charging will be aborted
and the CHECK (red) LED will blink.
COMPLETION OF CHARGING: Charge
completion is indicated by the CHARGED
(green) LED; when lit, the charger has
stopped charging and switched to the
Maintain Mode of operation, if the DEEP
CYCLE charge type was selected. For
other charge types, the CHARGED LED
comes on when the battery is charged
enough for normal use.
MAINTAIN MODE: When the CHARGED
(green) LED is lit, the charger has started
Maintain Mode. This mode of operation is
also known as Float-Mode Monitoring. In
this mode, the charger keeps the battery
fully charged by delivering a small current,
when necessary. The voltage is maintained
at a level determined by the CHARGE
TYPE selected. NOTE: For charge types
other than DEEP CYCLE, the CHARGED
LED might be lit before Maintain Mode is
started.
GENERAL CHARGING NOTES: The
charger is designed to control its cooling
fan for efficient operation. Consequently, it
is normal for the fan to start and stop when
maintaining a fully charged battery. The fan
does not run in Tester Mode.
