Charging Display

The digital display has three modes of content. By pressing the

button, you can toggle between the modes.

• Current – the charging current (A) will be displayed.

• Voltage – the charging voltage (V) will be displayed.

Note:

The voltage displayed is the charging voltage and usually

will be higher than the battery’s resting voltage.

• Battery Capacity% – the real-time battery capacity will be

displayed.

1. Displays "LO" when battery capacity less than 60%.

2. Displays "60%-70%-80%-90%" when battery voltage goes up

gradually.

3. Displays “FUL" when charger goes into float charge mode.

Desulfation

If the battery is left discharged for an extended period, the battery

could become sulfated. A sulfated battery will not accept a normal

charge.

If charging with 12V gear, it will be 7-STAGE CHARGING
