AMMETER:
The ammeter indicates the measured
amount of amperes being drawn by the
battery. When you first start charging a
battery, the reading will be high, with
the needle near 12 using the 12 amp
charging rate.
• In the MANUAL setting, as the battery
charges, the needle will fall to about 5
to 6 amps, indicating a charged
battery.
• In both AUTOMATIC settings, the
needle will fall to zero and the
charger will shut off when the
charger’s control circuit senses a full
charge. A freshly charged battery’s
voltage will drop shortly after charging
stops, and the charger, if left con-
nected, may resume charging. This
off-and-on cycling will continue until
the battery’s voltage no longer drops
enough to restart the charger.
• At the 2 amp charging rate you will
notice very little needle movement.
When cranking the engine while using
the ENGINE START feature, the needle
will swing into the Start (red) area of the
scale.
LED INDICATOR:
The green LED INDICATOR will glow
when the charger senses that the
battery has reached a full charge.
• When using the MANUAL charge rate,
stop charging when the LED glows and
the AMMETER needle is about 5 to 6
amps in the 12 Amp setting.
• Use the AUTOMATIC DEEP CYCLE
setting for all deep cycle battery
charging. The charger will automatically
stop charging when the battery reaches
full charge and begin charging again
when battery requires.
• Use the
AUTOMATIC REGULAR
setting for all but deep cycle batteries.
The charger will automatically stop
charging when the battery reaches
full charge and begin charging again
when battery requires.
• A severely discharged battery may not
have enough charge to start the
control circuit in an AUTOMATIC
setting. In this case, charge on
MANUAL until the battery has enough
charge to accept an AUTOMATIC
setting.
Charge Type:
• Use the MANUAL setting only if you
check the charging progress frequently.
The charger will not stop charging when
the battery reaches full charge, possibly
damaging the battery if left on too long.
You must monitor and unplug the
charger when battery is fully charged.
Charge Rate:
• Use the 2 AMP charge rate setting for
charging small batteries and warming
large batteries.The lower the charge
rate, the longer it will take to charge the
battery.
• Use the 12 AMP rate setting for
automotive, deep cycle and other large
batteries.
• Use the 75 AMP ENGINE START setting
only to assist in cranking the engine.
