10.7 LOW BATTERY OVERRIDE/RECOVORY
10.7.1 CONFIGURATION
There is the ability to manually override the low ‘Incorrect Battery’ threshold
of 1.70 VPC, down to a minimum of 1.00 VPC - the level at which the charger
will recognize a battery connection. This is achieved by holding the
FUNCTION push button for 5 seconds when the incorrect battery fault has
been detected.

FUNCTION push button for 5 seconds when the incorrect battery fault has
been detected.
10.7.2 OPERATION
If ‘Low Battery Override’ has been enabled and a battery (voltage > 1.00
VPC) is connected to the charger, the charger will pass current at 75% of the
maximum output current.

period, the battery recovery mode will cease and charge will start from stage
1 with smart start disabled.
If 3.0 VPC is reached within the 5 minutes of charge, the charge will be
suspended equal to the ‘on’ time, maximum of 5 minutes. During this period
the display will show ‘Lobt’. During the 5-minute off period the display will
show the battery volts per cell alternating with ‘Lobt’.

INCORRECT BATTERY LIMITS
Incorrect battery detection limits will be < 1.70 VPC and > 2.25 VPC (off
charge). If the battery voltage comes within this window the charger will
automatically commence charging.

AC POWER FAILURE
If the AC power fails during a charge cycle, the charger will resume the cycle
at the point of termination as soon as AC power is restored.
