supply and switch on. The state of charge
is shown by the LED indicators on the
battery charger as follows. The red
“Charge” LED will light to indicate that
the battery is correctly connected and is
charging. The indicator LED will turn
green when the battery is fully charged.
The length of time needed for recharging3.
will depend on the size and depth of
discharge of the battery. A minimum of
one hour is needed and full charging of a
large battery may take up to 12 hours.
For best results, the charger should4.
be allowed to complete its full cycle
as indicated by the green LED, and
if possible, the battery should be left
connected and on-charge permanently
until it is required for immediate use.
There is no need to switch off the charger

coming into contact with oils, grease, etc., as most types of plastic can be broken
down by chemicals and solvents.
Fast charge
The charger is in constant current mode.
Charge current is at its maximum.
Final charge
The charger is in constant voltage mode.
Charge current is less than its maximum.
The battery is normally 80-95% charged.
The charger stays in this mode until the charge current
decreases to charge termination level.
Float (Standby / Ready)
The charger is in standby mode.
The battery is fully charged. The LED changes to green.
