  • ബാറ്ററി വോള്യം പരിശോധിക്കുകtage on the LCD screen. If the battery is extremely discharged, the charger might require a minimum voltagചാർജിംഗ് ആരംഭിക്കാൻ.
  • Ensure the correct battery type and charge mode are selected. For severely discharged batteries, the 'Recond' mode might be necessary.
• Error Messages on LCD:
  • The LCD screen displays error codes for issues like reverse polarity or short circuits. Refer to the full product manual (if available) for a detailed list of error codes and their meanings.
  • If an error occurs, disconnect the charger from both AC power and the battery, resolve the issue (e.g., correct polarity), and then reconnect.
• Unable to Change Modes:
  • If the charger is actively charging, some modes may be locked.
  • To ensure a full reset and allow mode selection, disconnect the charger from both the AC power outlet and the battery. Wait for the device to completely power down (the screen should be blank). Reconnect the battery first, then the AC power, and attempt to select the desired mode.
• സ്ലോ ചാർജിംഗ്:
  • Ensure the 'FAST' charge mode is selected for higher capacity batteries (50-160 Ah).
  • Battery condition can affect charging speed. Older or sulfated batteries may charge slower.
