Progressive Dynamics Charge Wizard ?

Hi. I have the listed 'Smart'power converter. It has the Charge Wizard and I need to figure out the Wizards Blinking light pattern meaning. There are 3 patterns, Solid on, Fast blink & Slow blink.
I know the Solid on is the Boost mode. There is also a Normal & a Storage mode. Which of these 2 is the Fast Blink(constant Blinking) indicating and which is the Slow blink( one blink every 8 seconds) indicating? I know it tells me on the side of the Wizard but I can't figure which of the 2 is which. :h

    My dongle lists which is which. Solid = Boost Mode (~14.3 volts), Fast blink = Normal Mode (~13.6 volts) and Slow blink = Storage Mode (~13.3 volts). The manual says that Storage mode is 13.2 volts, but ours is always 13.3 volts if nothing DC is on.

  • AFAIK those lights just indicate the battery voltage, not really what the charger is doing.

    My PD charger is attached to the batteries all the time, but not always plugged into the 120VAC and actually charging. Still, the lights are always on indicating the battery voltage.

    The very slow blink is indicating the battery is fully charged and is in maintenance mode.
