Description of functions The charger is fully automatic and programmed for advanced charging of lead-acid batteries between 1 and 85 Ah. The integrated safety functions that are intended to limit overcharging could interrupt the charge process when charging larger batteries than the charger is intended for. This product is equipped with a temperature compensator, because temperature is highly significant for batteries’ ability to receive charge.
recommended battery size or in connection with other equipment drawing current (parallel load) being connected to the battery during charging. Batteries can be damaged by being charged at high temperatures, so the charger has been fitted with a safety function that interrupts charging when temperatures are too high, approx. 50 °C. Information about faults and fault indications is explained in the table below. Fault indications and troubleshooting 1.
