Status Indicator Lights; Troubleshooting Check List - Deltran Battery Tender Junior Instructions Manual

STATUS INDICATOR LIGHTS:

indicator light operation: Note that the BT JUNIOR has a single light
that will shine either RED or GREEN, while the BT PLUS has two
separate lights, one RED and one GREEN.
NEITHER THE RED OR GREEN LIGHT TURN ON – This is an abnormal
condition and most likely indicates that the charger is not properly
connected to the AC power.
RED LIGHT FLASHING – The red light flashing indicates that the battery
charger has AC power available and that the microprocessor is functioning
properly. If the red light continues to flash, then either the battery voltage
is too low (less than 3 volts) or the output alligator clips or accessory ring
terminals are not connected correctly.
RED LIGHT ON STEADY – Whenever the red light is on steady, a battery
is connected properly and the charger is charging the battery. The red
light will remain on until the charger completes the charging stage.
GREEN LIGHT FLASHING – When the green light is flashing, the battery
is greater than 80% charged. For BT Plus models the red light will also be
on steady. (Note: Does not apply to the 8V Plus or the 6V Junior).
GREEN LIGHT ON STEADY – When the green light stops flashing and
burns steady, the charge is complete and the battery can be returned to
service if necessary.
ALTERNATING RED & GREEN LIGHTS FLASHING (PLUS) or SINGLE
LIGHT ORANGE (JUNIOR) – This is abnormal and most likely indicates
either that the battery is sulfated or that there is a poor electrical
connection between the charger DC output and the battery posts. For the
BT Plus models it may indicate a reverse polarity connection on the DC
output cables (the battery is hooked up backwards).

TROUBLESHOOTING CHECK LIST:

1. NEITHER OF THE CHARGER LIGHTS TURN ON AFTER THE AC POWER
PLUG IS CONNECTED TO THE AC ELECTRICAL OUTLET: Check the
charger AC power plug connection at the AC electrical outlet. Verify that the AC
electrical outlet is functioning properly by plugging in another appliance or a
voltmeter.
2. THE CHARGER GREEN LIGHT GOES ON IMMEDIATELY WHEN AC
POWER IS APPLIED TO THE CHARGER: The charger connections at the
battery may be intermittent, the battery may be defective, or the battery might already
be fully charged.
3. CHARGER IS CHARGING BUT THE GREEN LIGHT DOES NOT TURN ON
IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME: The battery may be large and requires
more time to fully charge than originally expected, there may be another appliance
drawing electric power from the battery while it is charging, or the battery may be
defective. Also, a newly purchased battery may not be fully charged and may take
longer to charge initially.
4. THE RED LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN AFTER THE GREEN LIGHT CAME
ON. There may be another appliance drawing electric power from the battery causing
its voltage to drop below the reset level. The battery charger then goes back into full
charge mode. Also, the charger connections at the battery may be intermittent or the
battery may be defective.

Maximum Operating Temperature
Charger Case Dimensions:
BT Junior: 3.313 in (85 mm) L x 2.313 in (59 mm) W x 1.875 in (48 mm) H.
BT Plus: 4.875 in (124 mm) L x 3.25(83 mm) W x 2.875 in (73 mm) H.
Note: When sizing the space available for the 1.25 Amp battery charger, do
not forget to allow additional length for safe bending of the strain relief on
AC or DC power cords, typically 2 in (50.8 mm).
