To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is the temperature of my NPower Battery Charger too high?
If the temperature of your NPower Battery Charger is too high, it may be due to high ambient temperature. Ensure adequate ventilation. The charger will resume charging after cooling.
What to do if NPower XPR doesn't go into maintenance mode?
If your NPower Battery Charger doesn't switch to maintenance mode after 24 hours, the charge current might be too low to fully charge the battery; in this case, select a higher charge rate. Alternatively, there may be a short circuit in the battery, so go to the specialist to check the battery. Also, make sure the battery isn't being used during charging; disconnect any load. Finally, the self-discharging current might be larger than the floating current, so please select a charger with a higher charging rate.
Why is the charge current too high on my NPower XPR Battery Charger?
If the charge current of your NPower Battery Charger is too high, a load may be connected to the battery. Disconnect the load and attempt to charge again.
What to do if NPower XPR voltage is less than 10V?
If the battery voltage is less than 10 V after 10 minutes of charging with your NPower Battery Charger, there might be a short circuit in the battery, so it is recommended to go to a professional lab to test the battery. Another possibility is that a load may be connected to the battery. Disconnect the load and attempt to charge again.
Why is the charge voltage too high on my NPower XPR?
If the charge voltage of your NPower Battery Charger is too high, confirm that the battery is 12 V. It may be a 24V battery.
Why is NPower Battery Charger voltage still low after reconditioning?
If the battery voltage of your NPower Battery Charger is still less than 13 V after multiple reconditioning attempts, the battery is likely sulphated beyond reconditioning and should be replaced.
What to do if NPower Battery Charger clamps not receiving signal?
If the charger clamps of your NPower Battery Charger are not receiving an electrical signal from the battery, it could be because the unit was plugged into the power source before the clamps were attached. Attach the clamps to the battery prior to plugging into a power source. Alternatively, the battery voltage may be too low to receive a new charge, in which case you should replace the battery.

This document describes the NPower 7-Stage Automatic Smart Charger, model number 28507, a device designed for charging and maintaining 12V AGM lead-acid batteries. The charger incorporates a sophisticated 7-stage charging process to ensure safe, efficient, and optimal battery performance, while also extending battery life.
The primary function of this smart charger is to charge and maintain 12V lead-acid batteries, including those found in cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, RVs, and garden tractors. Its 7-stage automatic charging process is designed to optimize battery health and performance.
The charging process begins with Stage One - Desulfation, which uses pulse charges to break down lead sulfate crystals that can accumulate on discharged or unused batteries, thereby restoring performance and extending battery lifetime. Following this, Stage Two - Soft Start initiates a slow, steady build-up of the charging process, limiting power to protect the battery during the initial phase.
Stage Three - Bulk Charge is the main part of the charging process, applying 80% of the charge. During this stage, the charger automatically "tops off" the battery as needed to ensure it becomes fully charged. Stage Four - Absorption then slowly reduces the charge rate, allowing the battery to absorb more power and achieve a full charge.
After absorption, Stage Five - Battery Test automatically assesses the battery's condition. If further charging is required, the Recondition stage is selected; otherwise, the battery transitions to Float status if fully charged. Stage Six - Recondition is an additional charge stage specifically designed to recover deeply discharged batteries. Finally, Stage Seven - Float maintains the battery at a 100% charge without overcharging, allowing the unit to remain connected indefinitely. This mode is particularly beneficial for intermittently used vehicles, such as classic cars, motorcycles, and RVs, ensuring the battery remains at peak charge.
The charger also includes several safety and operational features:
