DIGITAL DISPLAY
The Digital Display gives digital
indication of voltage, % of charge
or alternator status. It also gives
Cool Down time remaining during
Engine Start. When chosen by the
Display Button, the display will show
the battery voltage, % of charge
or alternator status under certain
conditions. First, when connected
to a battery but not charging, all
three options are available. When
charging begins, the display will
automatically change to the Voltage
option, show
On
to indicate charging
has started, and then either 6 or
12, the voltage type of the battery
determined by the charger. If the
battery voltage is low, the display
will continue to show
On
until the
voltage type is determined. % of
charge is an option only after the
voltage type, 6 or 12 is determined,
and also only for the Charge rate.
Alternator status is an option only
when not charging and for 12V
battery types. When the battery
is fully charged, indicated by the
Charged/Maintaining (green) LED
lit, the display and all other LEDs will
turn off to conserve energy during
Maintain mode.
DISPLAY BUTTON
Use this button to set the function
of the digital display to one of the
following:
•
Battery % –
The digital display
shows an estimated charge
percentage of the battery
connected to the charger’s battery
clamps.
•
Alternator % (12V only, when
not charging) –
The digital
display shows an estimated output
percentage of the vehicle’s charging
system connected to the charger’s
battery clamps, compared to a
properly functioning system. The
alternator percent range is from 0%
to 100%.Readings below 0% (13.2
volts) will read
LO
and readings
above 100% (14.6 volts) will read
HI
.
If you get a
HI
or
LO
reading, have
the electrical system checked by a
qualified technician.
•
Voltage –
The Digital Display
shows the voltage at the charger
battery clamps, in DC volts.
START/STOP BUTTON
Press to immediately begin
charging your properly connected

• 50A BOOST –
For quickly adding
energy to a severely discharged
or large capacity battery prior to
Engine Start.
• 250A ENGINE START –
Provides
250 amps for cranking an engine
