NORMAL
MODE
:
Output
voltage
set
at
approximately
13.6
VDC.
BOOST
MODE:
If
the
converter
senses
that
the
battery
voltage
has
dropped
below
a
preset
level
the
output
voltage
is
increased
to
approximately
14.4
VDC
to
rapidly
recharge
the
battery.
STORAGE
MODE:
When
there
has
been
no
significant
battery
usage
for
30
hours
the
output
voltage
is
reduced
to
13.2
VDC
for
minimal
water
usage.
When
in
storage
mode,
the
output
voltage
will
periodically
increase
to
14.4
VDC
to
help
prevent
sulfating
of
the
battery
plates.
IT
IS
IMPORTANT
THAT
THE
FLUID
LEVELS
OF
ANY
CONNECTED
BATTERY(S)
BE
CHECKED
ON
A
REGULAR
BASIS.
ALL
BATTERIES
WILL
“GAS”
AND
LOSE
SOME
FLUID
WHEN
CONTINUOUSLY
CONNECTED
TO
ANY
CHARGING
SOURCE.
