stopped charging and has switched to the Maintain Mode of operation. NOTE: If the
charger has to provide its maximum maintain current for a continuous 12 hour period, it
• 12 •
will go into Abort Mode (see Aborted Charge section). This is usually caused by a drain
on the battery, or the battery could be bad. Make sure there are no loads on the battery.
If there are, remove them. If there are none, have the battery checked or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
This unit maintains 6V and 12V batteries, keeping them at full charge. It is not
recommended for industrial applications.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology allows you to safely charge and maintain a
healthy battery for extended periods of time. However, problems with the battery,
electrical problems in the vehicle, improper connections or other unanticipated
conditions could cause excessive current draws. As such, occasionally monitoring
your battery and the charging process is required.
DESULFATION MODE
If the battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, 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. If
successful, normal charging will resume after the battery is desulfated. Desulfation
could take up to 8 hours. If desulfation fails, charging will abort, the GREEN LED
will ash, and the display will show CHARGE ABORTED-BAD BATTERY.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging
aborts, the charger’s output is shut off, the GREEN LED will ash, and the display
will show CHARGE ABORTED-BAD BATTERY. To reset after an aborted charge,
unplug the charger from the outlet, wait a few moments and plug it back in.

3. PREPARACIÓN PARA LA CARGA
3.1 Si resulta necesario extraer la batería del vehículo para cargarla, siempre retire el
terminal con descarga a tierra en primer lugar. Asegúrese de que todos los accesorios
en el vehículo se encuentren apagados para evitar la formación de arcos eléctricos.
3.2 Asegúrese de que el área que rodea a la batería se encuentre bien ventilada
mientras se carga la batería.
3.3 Limpie los terminales de la batería antes de cargar la batería. Durante la limpieza,
evite que la corrosión producida por aire tenga contacto con sus ojos.
3.4 Agregue agua destilada a cada pila hasta que el ácido de la batería alcance el
nivel especicado por el fabricante de la batería. No provoque derrames. En lo que
concierne a baterías que no cuentan con tapas extraíbles para pilas, tales como
baterías de plomo-ácido reguladas por válvulas (VRLA, por sus siglas en inglés),
siga cuidadosamente las instrucciones de recarga del fabricante.
3.5 Controle todas las precauciones especícas establecidas por el fabricante de la
batería al realizar la carga, así también como los índices de carga recomendados.
3.6 Determine la tensión de la batería al consultar el manual del usuario del vehículo
y asegúrese de que el interruptor de selección de la tensión de salida se
encuentre establecido en la tensión correcta. Si el cargador posee un índice de
carga ajustable, cargue la batería en el menor índice en primer lugar.
4. UBICACIÓN DEL CARGADOR
4.1 Ubique el cargador a la mayor distancia posible de la batería como lo permitan
los cables de CC.
4.2 Nunca ubique el cargador directamente por encima de la batería que se carga;
los gases de la batería corroerán y dañarán el cargador.
4.3 Nunca permita que el ácido de la batería gotee sobre el cargador al leer el peso
