NOTE:
Consider changing the Custom Battery default settings. See your battery manufacturer
specifications for correct charging information.
The CH201 is designed to charge lead-acid batteries only. Lead-acid batteries come in three
styles. The first two styles are valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. VRLA batteries are
considered maintenance free because they do not require the addition of water to the cells. They
also vent less gas than flooded lead-acid batteries.
l
Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) maintenance-free battery. This style of battery has the
electrolyte (acid) absorbed and trapped in a fib
reglass
mat, which is sandwiched between
lead plates. This battery is sealed. No water or acid can be added and the design allows the
battery to be mounted in any position. This style battery is also called starved-electrolyte.
l
Gel Cell maintenance-free battery. This battery has the electrolyte (acid) mixed with silica
dust to form an immobilized gel, which is sandwiched between lead plates. This battery is
sealed. No water or acid can be added. This type of battery can be sensitive to how it is
mounted. See manufacturer for details.
