engaged. When in the absorption stage the current entering the battery has reduced to about 0,5 Amps,

which means the battery is very close to full charge, the YELLOW LED gives way to the GREEN LED to indi-

cate that the battery is charged and ready for use. The circuit automatically now limits the voltage at 13,5V

in the maintenance mode (float voltage support). The battery can be left connected without risk for medium

to long term maintenance until required. However the temperature of the area in which a battery is to be

kept for more than a few weeks should not exceed 25°C or 77°F. Check the electrolite level of batteries

with filler caps at least every 2 weeks. The circuit will revert to charge mode (YELLOW LED) if the battery

is not holding its charge well, or, if the battery remains connected in a wiring system, if there are losses of

current in the wiring due to small electronic loads or worn insulation or contacts.

If this happens it means that the battery requires more power to keep it charged than is available in the

maintenance mode (GREEN LED). To determine whether the defect lies in the battery or in the wiring sys-

tem, if still connected to the battery, disconnect the battery from the wiring system and reconnect it to the

charger to observe later whether the GREEN LED is able to indicate consistently when the wiring system

load is removed.

The following LED indications imply problems, or that the battery is faulty and probably needs replacing.

On the other hand, if after studying the following information you think something is wrong with the charger

circuit, DO NOT tamper with the charger, get it checked by a TecMate authorised agent :

a) Only the Power ON RED LED lights & the connections are OK: the battery is probably too deep-discharged

(below 2V) to accept a charge.

b) The GREEN LED indicates, but the battery is found to have no power : the battery is not accepting the

charge and is probably sulfated.

c) The YELLOW & GREEN LEDs flicker on alternatively : the battery is not able to hold the charge and may

be sulfated or permanently damaged. In the case that the battery is still connected to a wiring system, dis-

connect it and charge it again.

d) The YELLOW LED indicates for days & the GREEN LED never comes on : there is a loss of current due

to an internal short current through that wiring system, in which case disconnect the battery from the

wiring system and charge it again.

NOTE: The time normally required to charge a battery to the stage where the GREEN LED indicates is

dependent on the size & degree of discharge of the battery. A large battery (66 to 80Ah) as used in a large

car, sports utility, delivery van or boat will take much longer to charge than that of a motorcycle (9 to 30Ah).

Severely discharged batteries will take much longer than moderately discharged batteries. Except for sul-

fated batteries, the GREEN LED should light after not much more than the number of hours equal to about

half of the battery's rated capacity in Ampere-hours (Ah). E.g., for a 20 Ah rated battery, the GREEN LED

should light within not more than 10 – 12 hours.
