BATTERY CHARGE INDICATORS:
POWER - A Green LED illuminates to confirm
power is being supplied to the Battery Charger -
if it is the only LED illuminated, the Repco Battery
Charger is in “Maintain Mode”.
CHARGED - An Amber LED illuminates to signal
that the battery is fully charged and may be
disconnected for use. If left “on charge”, the
lamp will extinguish after 1 hour and only the
Green “Power” LED will stay illuminated to
signal the Repco Battery Charger is in “Maintain
Mode”.
CHARGING - An Amber LED illuminates to signal
that the Repco Battery charger is charging the
battery.
ERROR - A Red LED illuminates if the connection
is wrong, the incorrect battery voltage is
selected, or the battery is bad. In each of these
instances, the charging of the battery will not
proceed.
MODE:
V - Displays the battery voltage prioir to pressing
RUN, and displays the actual charging voltage
during each of the charging cycles.
Note - Due to the pulse voltages applied during
the DESULPHATION mode, the displayed voltage
might constantly change and cycle from 0 volts
to 16 volts.
A - Displays the Current in AMPS (A) being
applied to the battery during charging.
Note - If 0.0 is displayed, a very small current (A)
is being applied to achieve maximum charge.
% - Displays the charge condition of the battery
as a percentage (%) of full charge.
RATE: Pressing the RATE button toggles the
maximum output amperage (AMPS) displayed
between 16A, 8A, and 2A. Note - Use the table on
Page 10 to determine the optimum RATE setting.
TYPE:
WET - Conventional automotive starting lead acid
batteries generally have six cells each containing
lead plates and sulphuric acid. These batteries
provide a high current output in short busts
and are ideally suited to automotive starting
applications.
CAL - Calcium batteries are essentially the same
as lead acid batteries however, the addition of
a small amount of calcium to the lead plates
means calcium batteries have low water loss,
low self discharge characteristics, lower internal
resistance which provides a small increase
in CCA performance and a higher charge rate
acceptance compared to standard lead acid
batteries.
AGM - Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries
are a type of valve regulated lead acid battery
designed to wick the battery electrolyte between
the battery plates. AGM batteries contain only
enough liquid to keep the mat wet with the
electrolyte and if the battery is broken no free
liquid is available to leak out. The advantages
of this battery type is that the electrolyte does
not need topping up, nor can it be. They can be
