4. 3 If nothing happens If none of the lamps come on this may be due to the connection to the battery or chassis is poor or that the battery is faulty or has a too low terminal voltage Another cause may be a lack of voltage in the wall socket 4 Charging can be stopped at any time by disconnecting the charger s power cord Always disconnect the power cord before disconnecting the battery leads When you stop charging a battery fitted in a vehicle you should always disconnect the battery lead from the chassis before you disconnect the other battery lead 5 If the charging lamp and maintenance charging lamp alternately flash the reason for this is the following Ifthe lamps flash a few times per second then the battery is probably sulphated If the lamp flashes more than 60 minutes the battery should be replaced Ifthe flashing occurs with a few minutes interval then the battery has a high self discharge and may need to be replaced CHARGING PHASES M300 STARTER has a four step fully automatic charging cycle At the start of charging the battery charger delivers maximum current to the battery and the battery voltage increases constantly to a set level of 14 4V At this point the voltage will be regulated and kept constant while the charging current is successively lowered Once the charging current has dropped below 0 4A the charger switches to maintenance charging If the battery is loaded and the battery s terminal voltage drops
