TO CHARGE BATTERIES:
This charger is designed to charge all types of 12 volt automotive batteries. The voltmeter scale is color coded to represent the three
most common types of batteries.
The GREEN scale represents the proper voltages for CONVENTIONAL batteries.
The BLUE scale represents the proper charging voltages for RECOMBINATION batteries and LOW MAINTENANCE batteries. The
YELLOW scale represents the proper charging voltage for MAINTENANCE FREE batteries.
The RED scale areas indicate the charging voltage is too high and should be turned down, If not turned down, over charging can
occur to the batteries.
A CONVENTIONAL battery is one that has accessible filler caps and the plates are lead-antimony construction. A RECOMBINATION
battery is one that has no filler caps and no free electrolyte.
A LOW MAINTENANCE battery is one that has filler caps and the plates are a combination of lead-antimony and lead-calcium. A
MAINTENANCE FREE battery may or may not have filler caps and the plates are lead-calcium.
If more than one type of battery is charged at one time, use the lowest suggested settings.
To charge batteries overnight: Adjust charging voltage to 3/4-1 volt less than the recommended highest voltage. Do not exceed 30
amps. As the batteries charge, the charging current will decrease and the charging voltage increase. The “end of charge” voltage
should not exceed the maximum suggested value.
The charging voltage bands are intended to be guidelines to enable the operator to have a starting point to charge batteries. The age
of the batteries, temperature, and type of batteries will affect the charging cycle. The best setting for your charging conditions will
have to be determined by experience.
END OF CHARGE:
Discontinue charging when specific gravity reading does not change in 3 consecutive readings, battery is freely gassing or when the
electrolyte reaches 120
˚
F. If your battery is sealed and these determinations cannot be made, see manufacturers instructions for
charging.
