Battery is full 

 

 

Mode :14.4V/2.0A 

This mode is normally used for all types of batteries <40Ah 

 

 

 

Mode :14.4V/8.0A 

This mode is normally used for all types of batteries <160Ah 

 

 

Mode :desulfation 

If battery’s voltage is bellow 10.5V and no capacity to absorb 

charging current, charger will automatically rise output voltage 

up to 17V to recover the battery.    If    battery can’t be recovered 

after 2 hour, “Fault” light will on and the battery maybe spent.

 

 

 

Mode :14.7V/8.0A   

This setting is recommended for batteries at temperatures below 

5°C. It is also recommended for many AGM batteries. This 

setting is not recommended for maintenance charging when the 

temperature at times e5°C. In this case, the 14.4V/8A 

mode is recommended.

 

 

Mode :13.5V 5Amp output

   

DC power supply for use 12V appliance in home. 

Max output power is 80W.

 

PREPARING TO CHARGE 

1.Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner s manual. 
2.if it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals, always remove 

grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to 
cause an arc. 

3.Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes. 
4.Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. 

This  helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps,
