Charge Cycle
The Truecharge 10 can charge all 12 volt lead-acid batteries including
sealed, maintenance-free, and gel types. It is best suited for batteries with
capacities between 25 ampere hours and 200 ampere hours. (battery sizes
from U1 to 4D).
Charging is automatic. The READY status indicator on the Truecharge
10 will light when charging is complete. You can leave the Truecharge
10 connected to the batteries and to AC power even after charging is
complete—there is no danger of overcharging.
Operating Procedure
To charge your battery follow these steps:
1) If possible, disconnect all loads from the battery, by removing
battery cables, by opening a battery disconnect switch, or by switch-
ing loads off.
2) Set the BATTERY TYPE selector switch to the type of battery you
are charging. If your battery has removable caps that allow you to
add water, it is a flooded type, and the switch should be set to
FLOODED. If your battery is sealed and has no caps, set the switch
to GEL. The Truecharge 10 should be set for GEL for all sealed
batteries, even if they use starved-electrolyte technology rather than
gelled electrolyte technology.
