Accessing Charger Information
The Truecharge2 Battery Charger provides a lot of information about the 
status of the charger and the batteries.
Reading Onboard Display LEDs
The Fault LED works in conjunction with the Charging Current (%) LEDs. 
The icons at the top row above the Charging Current (%) LEDs represent 
the various types of fault and warning conditions. For example, a 
temperature warning is represented by a thermometer icon.
The Charging Current (%) LEDs will normally illuminate as a solid 
progress bar when they are indicating the amount of output charging 
current. If any of the LEDs start to flash intermittently at the same time that 
the Fault LED is either solid or flashing, a fault or warning condition is 
indicated.
Table 9, “Interpreting Fault and Warning Indicators” on page 43 
summarizes the various fault conditions that might occur during the 
operation of the charger. 
Reporting While Charging or Equalizing
After configuring the charger and during charging, the onboard display 
panel (and the optional remote panel, if installed) will show the following 
information about the charger and the battery:
Charging Output Current
Charger Status
Battery Status (available on the optional remote panel only)
If there is a fault or warning related to one of the banks, the fault or warning 
information will display in the form of illuminating or flashing Fault 
indicator LEDs. Charging for all banks will stop and will only resume once 
the fault condition is cleared. However, charging will continue during 
warning conditions.
IMPORTANT: A warning condition notifies the user of an impending 
problem and will not stop the charger from charging, while a fault 
condition will stop the charger from charging the battery.
