    This can occur if a small amount of power is used for a long time, for example a map reading light is left on for a week or more. The IDC25 is designed to charge an auxiliary battery from as little as 5 Volts. If the voltage is lower than 5 Volts use a pair of booster cables to connect between two batteries to provide more than 5 Volts to the battery being charged.
  • Page 14 Q. What is Surface Charge? A. Batteries unused or left discharged for some time build up a resistance to being recharged. When the charger is first connected, these batteries will take a surface charge, and the ‘FULLY CHARGED’ LED will illuminate within a short period of time.
