6. Operating Instructions

1. Initiating Charge: Once the battery is correctly connected and the AC plug is inserted, the LED lamp will turn Red, indicating that the battery is currently charging.
2. Charging Process: The charger will automatically proceed through its 3-stage charging cycle (CC-CV(H)-CV(F)) to optimize the charge.
3. Charge Completion: When the battery is fully charged, the LED lamp will change from Red to Green. At this point, the charger enters a float maintenance mode.
4. Disconnection: You can disconnect the charger from the AC outlet and then from the battery once charging is complete. The charger can also remain connected in float mode for long-term maintenance without overcharging.

7. LED Indicators

• Green LED (Solid):
  • Charger is powered on and ready (no battery connected or battery fully charged/in float mode).
• Red LED (Solid):
  • Battery is currently charging.
• LED Off:
  • Indicates battery polarity is reversed or output is short-circuited. Disconnect immediately and check connections.
  • Charger is not receiving AC power.

8. Maintenance

• The charger is designed for natural convection cooling. Ensure it is not covered during operation to prevent overheating.
• The charger automatically enters a float maintenance mode, preventing overcharging even if left connected for extended periods.
