Truecharge 10TB Owner’s Manual 1. Run 2 (or 3) wires from the Truecharge to the battery(s), and fasten neatly along their length. Do not connect wires yet. For a single battery system, use one black wire for the negative connection and one red wire for the positive connection. For a two battery system, add a second red wire. Follow local code(s) regarding the use of conduit, wire loom or other wiring protection. 2. Insert both wire clamps supplied into the two holes in the lower end of the Truec

For “Flooded” batteries, top up the electrolyte level with distilled water. 4. Switch on AC power to the charger, and switch on the 15-amp breaker installed in section 4.4. Also, switch on the power switch if this optional item was installed. 5. The “Bulk” status light will switch on, indicating that the Truecharge has begun charging in bulk charging m

Truecharge 10TB Owner’s Manual 5.0 Operation 5.1 Automatic Charging Sequence 1. When AC power is first switched on, an initialization procedure begins. The microprocessor checks for excessive voltage at the battery. It then checks to ensure the internal charger temperature is not greater than 175°F (80°C). If both these conditions are met, and the battery voltage is lower than the “absorption” voltage (see step 4), the Truecharge begins “bulk” charging, delivering a full charge to the battery

If the battery is only slightly discharged, the Truecharge will quickly switch into absorption mode, then eventually enter float mode once fully charged. The conditions that will cause the Truecharge to start, or restart high current bulk charging are

Truecharge 10TB Owner’s Manual 6.0 Charging Times The time taken for the Truecharge to fully recharge the battery(s) connected to it depends on many factors such as, the size (capacity in amp hours) of the battery (or total capacity if two batteries are connected), and how deeply the battery(s) are discharged. The following simple formula can be used to establish the approximate expected charging time. Total Ah of Battery(s) x Depth of Discharge Approx. Charging time in hrs = 900 Where “Depth o
