battery health. LED #6 lights if battery is being depleted or health is not optimal.
** If charge delivery was less than 12h up to when LED #5 turned on, health test
extends until 24h has elapsed, followed by 24-7 maintenance.
5.2 OptiMate 24-7 maintenance: During every hour that the battery remains connected
OptiMate's 24-7 maintenance program delivers up to 30 minutes of float charge
maintenance at a voltage of 13.6V, followed and alternating wih 30 minute REST (no
charging) periods. Charge level is continuously monitored. OptiMate Lithium will counter
discharge by connected circuitry or battery self-discharge. TIP: At least once every two
weeks, check battery status. IMPORTANT: When handling batteries or in their vicinity,
always take care to observe the SAFETY WARNINGS above.
6. LED #6 flashing / blinking - BATTERY is not holding charge / charging suspended.
The battery’s voltage is not being sustained above 12V or could not be sufficiently recovered.
In the case of a battery still connected to the electrical system it supports, the red LED #6
may be signalling a loss of current through connected wiring or 'always on' current-
consuming accessories. A sudden load such as vehicle headlights being switched on or
engine started while the charger is connected can also cause the battery voltage to dip
significantly. To rectify: disconnect OptiMate Lithium, allow program to reset and then
reconnect.
ECO POWER SAVING MODE WHEN THE CHARGER IS CONNECTED TO AC SUPPLY:
The power converter switches to ECO mode when the charger is not connected to a battery
resulting in a very low power draw of less than 0.5W (per charging bank), equivalent to power
consumption of 0.012 kWh per day. When a battery is connected to the charger power
consumption depends on the current demand of the battery and its connected vehicle /
electronic circuitry. After the battery has been charged and the charger is in long term
maintenance charge mode (to keep the battery at 100% charge) the total power consumption
is estimated to be 0.024 kWh or less per day.
