CHARGE TYPE SWITCH
Use this switch button to set the type of
battery to be charged to one of the fol-
lowing.
• REGULAR: This is the type of battery
usually used in cars, trucks, and motor-
cycles. These batteries have vent caps
and are often marked "tow maintenance"
or "maintenance-free".
• DEEP CYCLE: Deep cycle batteries
are usually marked as "deep cycle" or
"marine". Deep cycle batteries are usu-
ally larger than the other types.
• AGM/GEL: AGM and get cell batteries
have sealed cases without vent caps.
Such batteries are often smaller than
the other types.
TOP OFF: Use the Top Off charge ifyour
battery is not fully charged, but close
enough to cause the charger to quickly
change to the Maintain mode after one
of the other charge types is started. Se-
lecting Top Off will cause the charger to
advance to the later stages of its charging
process then change to regular maintain
mode after charging is complete.
With the exception of AGM and get cell
batteries, all other battery types may or
may not have vent caps. Vent caps are
located on top of the battery and provide a
means to add distilled water when needed.
Batteries should be marked with their type.
If charging a battery that is not marked,
check the manual of the item that uses
the battery. Ifthe battery type is unknown,
use the REGULAR setting. Make sure the
battery complies with the safety instruc-
tions on page 3.
