19. PREPARING TO CHARGE A BATTERY
    CAUTION

    • If necessary remove a battery from a vehicle to charge, make sure the engine
      is off and all accessories in the vehicle are off, to not cause an arc. Always remove the grounded negative terminal from the battery first.

    • Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions; warnings and instructions while charging and recommended rates of charge. Never charge a battery with missing safety vent caps.

    • Be sure the area around the charger and batteries is well-ventilated while the battery is being charged. If the electrolyte is splashed into an eye, immediately force the eye open and flood it with clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention.
      If electrolyte is taken internally, drink large quantities of water or milk. DO NOT induce vomiting. Get prompt medical attention.
      Neutralize with baking soda any electrolyte that spills on a vehicle or in the work area. After neutralizing, rinse the contaminated area clean with water.

    • Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

    • For flooded batteries with removable caps, ONLY ADD DISTILLED WATER in each cell until the electrolyte reaches levels specified by the battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a maintenance-free battery without removable caps, such as valve-regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.

    • Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the car owner’s manual and make sure the charger is set for the correct 12V battery type. See “Charging Battery Types and Approximate Charge Times”.

    • Do not overcharge batteries by selecting the wrong battery type or by trying to charge a non-12 Volt as defined by the 12 Volt battery types specified in this manual.

    • Select the correct battery profile on the charger for the corresponding battery. Do not select flooded lead-acid or AGM profiles for lithium-ion batteries. Flooded lead-acid and AGM profiles are not optimized for charging lithium-ion batteries and could result in subpar performance, reduced battery life, fire, or property damage. Only select OPTIMA® Li profile for OPTIMA® LiFePO4 batteries.

    • A wrong profile failed or defective charging system can cause your battery to be dangerously overcharged. Failure to check and maintain your charging system can result in fire, explosion, or damage to property.

    • Use caution when charging batteries that have been over-discharged.

    • Stop charging and contact support if at any time the battery emits odors, gasses, fluids, or smoke, gets hot, or swells/deforms.

    • Lithium-ion batteries do not have a “memory effect”; fully discharging before initial charging or periodically discharging is not necessary and could reduce overall life.

    • The battery should be installed so that it is not exposed to excessive heat (above 140°F/60°C) such as next to an exhaust manifold. Storage and use of batteries at excessive temperatures can reduce battery life. The heat shield or install the battery away from excessive heat sources such as exhaust headers or components.

    • OPTIMA® lithium-ion batteries have a built-in battery management system (BMS) that could disable the battery in fault conditions such as low/over temperatures, low/overvoltages, and short circuits. Consult the battery manufacturer manual for fault conditions.

20. CHARGER LOCATION
    CAUTION

    • Locate the charger as far away from the battery as DC cables permit.
    • Never place a charger directly above a battery being charged; gases or fluids from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
    • Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
    • Never allow battery acid to drip on the charger when reading electrolyte-specific gravity or filling a battery.
    • Do not set a battery on top of the charger.
    • Do not install on or over combustible surfaces.

21. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
    CAUTION

    • Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after removing the AC cord from the electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
    • Attach charging clamps to the battery and chassis as indicated.

Handling Batteries

WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER’S WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONARY MARKINGS.

DANGER OF EXPLODING BATTERIES

Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen gas. Because self-discharge action generates hydrogen gas even when the battery is not in operation, make sure batteries are stored and used in a well-ventilated area. ALWAYS wear ANSI Z87.1 (U.S. standard) approved safety glasses and face shield or splashproof goggles when working on or near batteries:

• Always wear proper eye, face, and hand protection.
• Never try to charge a visibly damaged battery.
• Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery.
• Have plenty of soap, water, and baking soda nearby in case battery acid comes in contact with skin, clothes, or eyes.
• Keep all sparks, flames, and cigarettes away from the battery.
• Keep removable vents tight and level except when servicing electrolytes.
• Never try to open a battery with non-removable vents.
• Make sure the work area is very well-ventilated.
• Never lean over the battery while boosting, testing, or charging.
• Exercise caution when working with metallic tools or conductors to prevent short circuits and sparks.
• Make sure that the charger leads to the battery are not broken, frayed, or loose.
• If the battery becomes hot, or if violent gassing or spewing of electrolytes occurs, immediately turn off the charger and have your local dealer test your battery.

HANDLING BATTERY ACID
Battery acid, or electrolyte, is a solution of poisonous sulfuric acid and water that can destroy clothing and burn the skin. Use extreme caution when handling electrolytes and keep an acid-neutralizing solution such as baking soda or household ammonia mixed with water- readily available. When handling batteries:

• Always wear proper eye, face, and hand protection.
• If the electrolyte is splashed into an eye, immediately force the eye open and flood it with clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention.
• If electrolyte is taken internally, drink large quantities of water or milk. DO NOT induce vomiting. Get prompt medical attention.
• Neutralize with baking soda any electrolyte that spills on a vehicle or in the work area. After neutralizing, rinse the contaminated area clean with water.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR A BATTERY:

• Position AC and DC cords to reduce the risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine parts.
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
• Check the polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
• Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by identifying which battery post NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) OR POSITIVE (POS, P, +) is connected to the chassis.
• For a negative grounded vehicle: connect the RED POSITIVE (POS, P, +) cable clamp or ring terminal first to the positive post of the battery, then connect the BLACK NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) cable clamp or ring terminal to the vehicle’s chassis. Do not connect the black negative (NEG, N, -) cable clamp to metal fuel lines or anywhere in proximity to the carburetor or the battery itself. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
• For a positive grounded vehicle: connect the BLACK NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) cable clamp or ring terminal first to the negative post of the battery, then connect the RED POSITIVE (POS, P, +) cable clamp or ring terminal to the vehicle’s chassis. Do not connect the red positive (POS, P, +) cable clamp to metal fuel lines or anywhere in proximity to the carburetor or the battery itself. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
• Plug the charger into a properly grounded GFCI-protected outlet.
• When charging is completed, always disconnect the AC power, remove the clip from the vehicle chassis, and then remove the clip from the battery terminal.

Quick Set Operations

Pre-Charge Battery Status

Note:
The vehicle engine and all charging systems must be off and not connected to the AC.

This quick and easy feature allows you to understand your battery’s state of charge before charging it. To use this feature, press the Pre-Charge Status button without AC present. The Fill Gauge will provide the current state of battery in % of charge with the corresponding battery type LED illuminated. Users can change battery type in Analyze Mode following the instructions shown.

Note:
If the user does not set a battery type, this Pre-Charge Battery Status function will be disabled.

Quick Set Charging by Battery Type
From the battery type selector choose the BATTERY TYPE that matches the battery type descriptions as outlined on page 15 titled: “Charging Battery Types & Approximate Charge Times.”

Troubleshooting

• If at any time a fault is identified by the charger, the following will appear: the “Check” icon will illuminate red.
• OPTIMA® D200+ charger will stop outputting.

If the “Check” icon is illuminated solid

1. Reverse Polarity – Wiring Fault
   Check connection polarity. Verify RED POSITIVE (POS, P, +) cable clamp or ring terminal is connected to the RED POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post.

2. Check Connection or Battery < 2.5V

   • Verify both leads from the charger are connected to the battery.
   • Verify Trailer Pin Style Connector is securely and tightly plugged in.
   • Battery voltage may be too low to accept a charge. Return the battery to the dealer for testing. If the battery is under 2.5VDC, another battery may be used in parallel to start the charging process, and then be removed. Verify auxiliary ring terminal connector is securely plugged into the charger.

3. Out of Range – Battery > 15.5V

   • Battery voltage is high. Verify there is only one 12V battery connected to the charger. Verify there is no other charger or maintainer source that is connected or on. Remove if either is present.
   • Ensure the engine is off. Have a dealer check your battery and/or charging system.

4. Charger Temperature Out-of-Range

   • The ambient temperature and/or unit temperature are too high/low for the charger to operate at this time. The operating temperature is -20°C to 50°C
   • The charger will automatically resume charging when appropriate.
   • If recharging a deeply discharged battery, it is not uncommon for the charger to enter the hi-temp fault condition to protect the charger and battery. The charger will automatically resume charging in 3 to 15 minutes depending on the ambient temperature and condition of the battery.
   • Do not cover or enclose the unit – Use either by hanging with the wall organizer bracket or on a flat surface with the kickstand.

If the “Check” icon ****is pulsing

1. Unable to Charge – Check Battery
   • Restart the charger once. Do not repeat more than once. If fails again, return the battery to the dealer for testing.
   • Re-verify battery is a 12 Volt battery versus a 6 Volt battery or other unsupported voltage.

If “Connected” icon + “Power” icon + “Check” icon are all blinking.

1. Internal failure – Contact Customer Service
   Contact Customer Service Support immediately. No further troubleshooting is expected from end users. There are no serviceable or replaceable items inside the charger.

Other General Trouble Shooting Steps:

• Note 1: To reset the charger at any time, unplug the charger and wait until the BLUE AC power indicator is completely off. For typical negative chassis ground applications, disconnect the battery by removing the BLACK NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) cable clamp followed by the RED POSITIVE (POS, P, +) cable clamp. Re-connect your battery, apply AC power per the guidelines of this manual, and restart the function of your choice.
• Note 2: For instances where the charger is properly connected and the AC power cord is plugged into a properly protected 120 VAC GFCI outlet, there are NO LEDs ON, and the status bar is not on, follow these steps:

1. Confirm the GFCI-protected outlet has not tripped due to a ground fault.
2. Confirm there are 120 VACs present by plugging in a table lamp or meter.
3. Reset and apply power to resume using the OPTIMA® D200+.
4. If power is present and there are still no LEDs ON and the status bar is not ON, then follow the customer service return steps for service.
