Introduction

The HPX-10 is a two-stage, constant voltage battery charger with current limiting, current fold back, and
automatic temperature compensation of the output voltage. It is protected against shorting and reversing the
output terminals on a battery. There is one indicator light. It lights green to indicate when power is applied, there
is a battery attached, or that the charger is in float mode. It lights yellow when the unit is charging a battery. A red
light indicates a fault condition (short/reversed output connector).

This unit is designed to automatically switch
charged. A single stage, parallel charger version is available for maintaining full charge on a battery when used
with a permanent or intermittent parallel load. This unit is not designed to be used as a standalone power supply.

connector on the battery charger.

The indicator light will be yellow until the battery is 95% charged. The light will then change to green, indicating
a switch to float chrage mode. For 100% charge, the battery should remain connected to the charger for an
additional three hours.

To keep battery at full capacity, it is recommended to leave the battery connected to the charger, in float
charge mode, until ready to use. The battery can remain
without damaging the battery.

For safer and more efficient charging, batteries should be charged with higher voltages when cold and lower
voltages when warm. The HPX-10 incorporates automatic temperature compensation of the output voltage. For
this feature to work properly, the battery and the charger need to be stabilized at the same temperature.

Troubleshooting

No indictor light - If the indicator light is dark, determine if the unit is connected to a light switch or power strip
switch. If the power source is in the “on” position, then the unit may need repairs - contact RLWS.

No charge indicator, not charging - if the charger will not progress into charge mode, the battery is already
charged. You can test this by attaching a battery to the charger that you know is not charged. If the unit begins
charging then the previous battery is fully charged. If it does not, the unit may need repairs - contact RLWS.

Fault indicator - If the indictor light is red, the outputs are hooked up in reverse or shorted together. Check the
connection to the battery. A completely dead battery will look like a short to the charger. If you suspect a dead
battery, leave the charger attached to see if it goes into charge mode.

Charger will not switch into float mode - If the charger does not switch into float mode after 24 hours, the
battery is probably damaged. Check the open circuit voltage of the battery for shorted cells.
