Pulsed Charger |
The Charge LED will flash very slowly (on 1/8th sec. off 1 3/8th sec). This occurs if the terminal voltage of the battery is lower than that which the Pulse charger considers safe to charge. In this mode the Pulse charger applies a very gentle charge to the battery to see if it can bring the terminal voltage up to a safe level. This mode will continue indefinitely until either the battery is removed or the terminal voltage rises sufficiently, at which point normal charge will automatically be engaged. |
