converter

Post by Choptop »

Installed my converter , 35 amp w/pendant, from BestConverter, yesterday. I just went outside to check something and noticed that the light was on in the pendant, when I first went out it was blinking, went in to get flashlight and when I went back out it was solidly lit, Boost mode I think, it is just sitting their, not running or plugged in, is it normal for the light to be on :?: Thanks

Yes, it is. There are a couple different modes and the light is telling you which one it's in.

On = Boost mode (usually recharging a battery that's low)
Fast flash = Normal mode
Slow flash = Storage mode

But when it's in storage mode, it will occasionally flip to boost mode to keep the batteries from sulfating or something.

When it's on battery only, it turns on the LED for some reason.
