Stop charging
To stop charging at any time, disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
If the charger is left connected to the battery while not plugged into the wall it will not consume
the battery power.
Resume charging
Sometimes, charging can be interrupted for numerous external reasons (power outage,
mistakenly unplugged, lost battery connection, etc…) The charger will restart a new charging
cycle when the power supply is restored.
Complete charging
When the battery is fully charged, the charging stage lamps are lit.
If the voltage drops below 13.6V, the charger will automatically restart a new charging cycle.
