APPROXIMATE CHARGING TIMES
The built-in intelligent microprocessor will continuously monitor and adjust the maintainer to provide a fast, safe and
efficient charge. Note that battery charge times will vary depending on several factors including:
Battery State – If a battery has been only slightly discharged, it can be charged in less than a few hours. This same battery
could take up to 10 hours if very discharged.
Battery Rating – A higher rated battery will take longer to charge than a lower rated battery under the same conditions. A
battery is rated in ampere-hours (Ah), reserve capacity (RC) and cold-cranking amps (CCA).
Charge Rate –The charge rate is measured in amps. A battery charged at a lower rate will take longer than a battery charged
at a higher rate. However, smaller batteries can be easily damaged by charging at a rate which is too high for the capacity of
the battery.
Temperature – Cold temperature will affect a batteries ability to accept a charge. Charging in cold temperatures will increase
the amount of time required to charge a battery.
Find your battery’s CCA rating in the table below and note the charging time. The time reflects a battery with at least 50%
charge. You may need to add time depending on the severity of discharge.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
With proper care and minimal maintenance, the JEGS 3A Battery Maintainer No. 81954 will provide years of dependable service.
For maximum performance, manufacturer recommends: After each use, clean the battery maintainer clips - be sure to remove any
battery fluid that will cause corrosion on the clips. Always unplug and disconnect unit before cleaning. Clean the outside case of the
maintainer with a soft cloth and, if necessary, mild soap solution. Do not allow liquid to enter the maintainer . Do not operate when
maintainer is wet. Keep the maintainer cords loosely coiled during storage to prevent damage to the cords. Store in cold, dry loaction.
