2 Amp charge rate: Intended for
charging of small batteries such as
those commonly used in garden
tractors, snowmobiles
and motorcycles.
It is not to be used as a trickle charger
for larger batteries.
15 Amp charge rate: Use for charging
automotive
batteries, marine starter
batteries and deep cycle batteries. Not
intended for industrial applications and
very large batteries where 20 amp and
greater charge rates are required.
100 Amp engine
start:
Provides
100
amps for cranking an engine
with a
weak or run down battery. Always use in
combination
with a battery.
Charging: Both the 2 and 15 amp
charge rates perform an automatic
charge function. Dudng the first few
seconds of operation, an analytical
check of the battery is performed. If the
charger does not detect a properly
connected battery, the red "check" LED
will light continuously
until such a "
battery is detected. If a battery will not
accept a normal charge, the charger
will switch to a special mode of
operation designed for such batteries.
Indication of this special mode is the
flashing of the first amber LED in the
charge status display. If successful,
normal charging will resume. If not, a
red LED will blink indicating that
charging has been aborted. When the
amber LED is on but not flashing,
normal charging is in progress. Charge
completion
is indicated by a green
LED; at this point the charger has
switched to the Maintain Mode of
operation.
Maintain Mode: When the green LED is
lit, the charger has started Maintain
Mode. This mode of operation is also
known as Float-Mode Monitoring. In this
mode, the charger keeps the battery
fully charged by delivering a small
current, when necessary.
Battery types: The charger offers a se-
lection of three different types of batteries:
• Type 1 most Low-Maintenance,
AGM
and Gel Cell batteries;
Type 2 Deep Cycle and Maintenance-
Free batteries;
• Type 3 Deep cycle batteries with a
built-in 'eye-type' charge indicator.
