Depending on the size and type of the battery or batteries connected to the charger,
the standard charging current output of the charger may be more than is optimal or
recommended. Refer to the documentation from your battery manufacturer to determine the
maximum safe charging current. If needed, the maximum charging current can be reduced
to 25, 50 or 75 percent of the rated output of the charger. The three LED’s on the top will
indicate 25%, 50% and 75% respectively. All three LED’s will be simultaneously lit to
indicate 100% charging current

The recommended charging voltage for any type of battery will vary with temperature.
The warmer the battery, the lower the charging voltage required. This adjustment will set
the battery temperature to use for charge compensation if there are no installed battery
temperature sensors.
The three top LED’s indicate Cold, Warm, Hot and Auto. Cold, Warm and Hot and correspond
to battery temperatures of 5, 21 and 38 degrees Celsius respectively. In Auto, the charger
measures its own internal temperature during startup, and estimates the batteries to be the
same temperature and applies the appropriate compensation (Default).
If the charger detects one or two battery temperature sensors, their measurements will take
precedence.
