— Absorption Charge maintains the maximum possible charge at a constant, safe, predetermined voltage.
During this phase, the charging voltage remains constant, while the actual charging current is reduced to allow for the
maximum proper internal chemical energy
transfer. At the end of Stage 2, the charger
will automatically move into Stage 3 charge
mode.
SSttaaggee TThhrreeee —
— Top-Off Charge voltage is
automatically maintained and reduced to a
predetermined level while current is adjusted
for a safe, effective battery charge. At the end
of Stage 3, the unit will BEEP signaling the
completion of the charging cycle.
The Automatic Float Charge feature is ideal for maintaining a battery. It automatically tops off battery as needed, keeping
it fully charged all the time.
FEATURES
• This unit has three charge rate settings, accessed by the 2/6/10 AMP button:
a) 2 amps: smaller batteries, as in lawn mowers, snowmobiles, motorcycles, etc.
b) 6 amps: mid-sized batteries, as in small cars
c) 10 amps: automobiles and light trucks
• Automatic float charge monitoring
• Microprocessor controlled for proper operation and fault detection.
• Large, lighted digital display shows charging current, codes that indicate faults, modes of operation and time-out of
functions
• High-frequency, switch-mode operation for pure DC output
• Rapid charging three stage output
• Heavy-duty cables and clamps
• Rugged case, plus sturdy carry handle
• Self-storage of cables and clamps
• Ideal during winter season when vehicle's starting performance is reduced by cold or extreme weather conditions
• Single beep tone indicates a button is pressed or a mode change occurs
• Alternator check can determine if alternator output is within a typical voltage range

MPP —
— allows the user to select the charge rate based on battery size. This selection and actual battery charge rate are
monitored by the microprocessor and will stop charging if the selected rate is too fast or too slow for battery size or condition.

Chheecckk —
— is a five-second check that
measures the battery voltage. This check is repeated at
various electrical load levels and the tests allow the user
to determine if the alternator can keep up with the loads.
It can indicate whether alternator service may be
required.
