Schumacher 94085894 Battery Charger User Manual


 
10
The battery % shown in tester mode is an estimate based on the battery 13.5
voltage and a scale set by the Battery Council International. The battery %
shown in charger mode is an estimate of the relative charge in the battery
compared to the charge it should have if the charging process is allowed
to complete.
The battery % shown in tester mode can be used to estimate the relative 13.6
charge time. The lower the % shown, the longer the charge time for a
given battery.
The battery % shown in charger mode is an indication of the relative prog-13.7
ress of the charging process. The higher the battery % displayed, the less
charge time remains.
The more a battery is discharged, the faster it absorbs a charge from the 13.8
charger. That means that the battery % increases faster at the beginning
of the charging process than at the end. In other words, it takes longer for
a battery to accept the last few percent of the charge than the rst several
percent.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS14.
Before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the battery char-14.1
ger (see sections 6.7 and 7.6).
