NNootteess::
BATTERY VOLTAGE button is disabled in Alternator Check mode.
F07 may display because someone has added a number of accessory loads on the charging system, thereby
increasing current demand from the alternator. MAKE SURE THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS RATED TO SUPPORT
THE APPLICATION.
This check may not be accurate for every make, manufacturer and model of vehicle. Check only 12 volt systems.
APPROXIMATE CHARGING TIMES
The
3300 AAmmpp SSmmaarrtt™™ BBaatttteerryy CChhaarrggeerr
will automatically adjust the charge rate as the battery becomes
charged, and stop when the battery is fully charged. Deep cycle batteries may require longer charging time.
For estimates of the time it takes to charge a battery, refer to the following table.

at 2 amp rate 7.0 HRS 14 HRS NR* NR*
at 10 amp rate 1.4 HRS 2.8 HRS 4.2 HRS 5.5 HRS
at 30 amp rate 1.0 HRS 1.2 HRS 1.7 HRS 2.2 HRS
*NR = Not recommended at 2 amps — use a higher charge rate.
The times shown in the table above are approximate and refer to a 50 Ah automotive battery. For example, a 50
Ah (12 volt) battery is discharged (50%). How long should it be charged at the 10 amp rate? See the chart
above under “50%” and “at 10 amp rate.”
In most cases, battery charging times will vary depending on the size, age and condition of the battery. Smaller
batteries should be charged at a lower rate (2 amps) and an extra hour added to charge time.

• Check and make sure the charger is plugged into a live 120 or 220 volt AC outlet.
• Follow the steps outlined in the Operating Instructions section.

If the battery being charged has an internal shorted cell, the F01 will show. We recommend taking your battery
to a certified automotive service center for evaluation.

When F02 appears, the most common cause is poor connection to battery.
• Follow the steps outlined in “Important Safety Instructions” at the front of this manual to disconnect AC cord
and clamps, clean battery terminal and reconnect.
• If the situation persists, we recommend taking your battery to a certified automotive service center for evaluation.
FF0033 —— SSuullffaattee oorr UUnncchhaarrggeeaabbllee BBaatttteerryy
Appears when the battery is highly sulfated and cannot accept normal charge current.
• Follow the steps in “Equalizing” to equalize the battery.
• If the situation persists after equalizing, we recommend taking your battery to a certified automotive service
center for evaluation.
FF0044 —— OOvveerrttiimmee CCoonnddiittiioonn
Appears when charging time exceeds 18 hours. You may be using a charge current rate too low for a large
battery. Select higher charge rate to charge the battery.
FF0055 —— OOvveerrhheeaatteedd CCoonnddiittiioonn
The ventilation grill that prevents the air from flowing in and out of the charger may be blocked.
• Follow the steps outlined in “Important Safety Instructions” at the front of this manual to disconnect AC cord
and clamps, allow the unit to cool for 30 minutes and reconnect.
• Make sure there is ample ventilation before resuming operation.
