STEP 5 – SET BATTERY TYPE
The AC040 & AC080 come with winter mode so when the temperature of the battery is
close to 0°C degrees (<5°C) winter mode should be set.
Toggle through the Mode button to do this.
STEP 6 – CHARGING
Whilst Charging the LCD screen will show the battery voltage and a battery gauge at the
bottom will show the status of Charge. When fully Charged the battery gauge will be fully
highlighted and the word “FULL” will be displayed.
If the RECON symbol is shown on the display then the charger is trying to repair the battery.
Which will take longer to charge.
If there are any faults during charging refer to the “Fault & Errors” explanation at the
bottom of this page.
