Please note that all batteries suffer a reduced life if exposed to
constant high temperatures. A constant temperature of 30°C will
probably cause the battery to fail in less than 5 years. 40°C will
shorten its life to 2 years.
THE BATTERY STATE INDICATOR
The Battery State Indicator provides information on the amount of
charge in the battery, but is also used to signal other conditions as
follows:
Standard Charging.
The battery module is charging at its
standard rate.
Slow Charging.
The battery module is charging at its slow
rate.
Standard charging but at a slow
rate.
The battery has been set to charge at its
standard rate but, because the battery has
become hot, it has switched charge rates
to a lower rate while the battery cools down. Wait for the temperature to
drop and/or move to a cooler location.
Not charging. There is a
temperature problem.
The battery is too hot or too cold and
charging has therefore been interrupted
until the battery returns to a temperature
between 0°C and 45°C (32°F and 113°F)
Input Voltage Too Low.
The charger supply is not supplying
sufficient voltage to the battery module to
charge the batteries.
Battery nearly exhausted
The battery capacity is very low. Recharge
it.
Error: Reset
An error has occurred within the battery
module. The circuitry is resetting. Wait a
few moments and the fault should clear.
Overvoltage problem
The charging supply voltage is too high. Disconnect the charger and
rectify the fault.
