6.1 LED Display Indicators
The charger's display panel features a series of LED lights that indicate the battery's charge level:
- 20% Light: Illuminates when charging begins, indicating a low charge level.
- 40% Light: Illuminates as the battery charges further.
- 60% Light: Illuminates as the battery charges further.
- 80% Light: Illuminates as the battery approaches full charge.
- 100% FULL Light: Illuminates when the battery is fully charged. The charger will automatically stop charging to prevent overcharge.
6.2 Automatic Charging and Maintenance
Once connected and powered, the charger will automatically detect the battery's state and initiate the appropriate charging cycle. When the battery reaches full charge (100% FULL light), the charger will automatically switch to a maintenance mode (trickle charge) to keep the battery at optimal capacity without overcharging. This ensures security and stability for long-term connection.
7. Protection Features
The EAFCAuto Smart Battery Charger is equipped with multiple safety features to protect both the charger and your battery:
