Setup using the charger
The charge mode and charge current limit most appropriate for the battery type and capacity can be selected using the MODE button on the Blue Smart IP65 Charger.
To setup using the charger:
Connect the Blue Smart IP65 Charger AC power cable to a mains power outlet; after a short delay the TEST LED will begin to blink, until the charger determines if the battery will successfully accept charge (for up to 2 minutes).
Press (and release) the MODE button on the Blue Smart IP65 Charger to cycle through and select the most appropriate integrated charge mode (Normal, Normal + Recondition, High, High + Recondition or Li-ion).
Ensure that recondition stage is only enabled when required, as unnecessary or overuse will reduce battery life.
The LED beside the currently selected charge mode (NORMAL / HIGH / LI-ION) will be illuminated, as well as the RECONDITION LED if enabled.
If the maximum rated charge current is excessive, enable low current mode (charge current limited to a significantly reduced level - varies per model, refer to 'Technical specifications' section for more information). To enable (or disable) low current mode depress and hold down the MODE button on the Blue Smart IP65 Charger for 3 seconds; when enabled the selected charge mode LED (NORMAL / HIGH / LI-ION) will blink.
All settings are stored and will not be lost when the charger is disconnected from mains power or the battery.
Notice
To ensure proper charging, battery longevity and safe operation it is important to select a charge mode appropriate for the battery type and capacity being charged; refer to the 'Operation > Charge modes' section and the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for more information.
