DESCRIPTION
This battery charger is designed to handle the majority
of your charging and starting needs.
• HIGH AND LOW CHARGE RATES for most battery
sizes.
• High-AMPERAGE ENGINE START to help start
vehicles when the battery is too weak to do the job
alone.
• An AMMETER to monitor charging progress.
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

Ammeter
The ammeter indicates the charging current being drawn from the
charger by the battery. As the battery becomes more fully charged, the
charge rate lessens and the ammeter needle moves toward the lower
amp numbers on the meter. During engine starting, the ammeter will
usually peg to the high-amperage end of the meter. There is no clear-cut
way to read an ammeter and determine exactly when charging is
complete when in a manual mode (if this charger is in a automatic mode,
a green light on the charger indicates battery is fully charged and shuts
off the charger output). When in a manual mode, at full charge, the
ammeter will still register some current draw approximately 20-50% of
the charger's output rating. In many cases, overcharging can occur if the
charger is not disconnected when the battery reaches full charge - or
sooner, in the manual mode. Therefore, it is very important that you
follow the CHARGING TIME INSTRUCTIONS provided in this manual.
Several battery conditions can also cause the ammeter to appear to
indicate a battery near full charge, when in fact charging has only begun
such as a cold battery, a sulfated battery, or a deeply discharged lead
calcium battery (many newer automotive batteries).

garden or other small batteries.
10A, 12V for automobile, truck, farm equipment
and other medium to large batteries.
10A, 12V Deep Cycle for deep cycle batteries.
Manual Settings*
2A, 12V for motorcycle, snowmobile, lawn &
garden or other small batteries.
10A, 12V for automobile, truck, farm equipment
and other medium to large batteries.
10A, 6V for automotive, truck, farm equipment
and other vehicles that have 6V lead acid
batteries.
55A, 12V Start for starting a 12V vehicle with a
battery that is discharged. Only try to start for 3
seconds, then allow the charger to cool for 400
seconds to avoid damage.
* Note that the manual settings do not shut off and
the battery charge level must be monitored to
avoid over charging and damaging the battery
