6. Betjeningsvejledning
Once properly connected, the Battery Tender Plus will automatically begin its 4-step charging process:
- Initialisering: The charger checks the battery connection and voltage niveau.
- Bulkafgift: The charger delivers a constant current to bring the battery's charge up efficiently. The 'Charging' indicator light will be illuminated.
- Absorptionstilstand: As the battery approaches full charge, the current delivery slows down to prevent overcharging.
- Flydende tilstand: Once the battery is fully charged, the charger automatically switches to a maintenance mode, supplying a small, precise current to maintain optimal voltage. The 'Fully Charged' indicator light will be illuminated.
The charger is designed to be left connected for extended periods, providing continuous maintenance without overcharging.

8. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your Battery Tender Plus, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Charger indicator lights are off. | No AC power, faulty outlet, or internal issue. | Check AC power connection. Test outlet with another device. If still off, contact support. |
| 'Charging' light does not illuminate. | Incorrect battery connection, battery voltage too low, or reverse polarity. | Ensure correct positive/negative connections. Verify battery voltage is above 3V (for 12V) or 1.5V (for 6V). Re-check voltage selection on charger. |
| 'Fully Charged' light does not illuminate after extended time. | Battery is deeply discharged, battery is sulfated, or battery is faulty. | Allow more time for charging. If still not fully charged, have the battery tested by a professional. |
| Opladeren føles varm under drift. | Normal drift. | A slight warmth is normal. Ensure adequate ventilation around the charger. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect and contact support. |
