The  Model  A75M  is  a  SCR  controlled  industrial  battery  charger  for  use  on  electric  vehicle  batteries.    It  is 

designed to recharge a battery of the proper amp-hour capacity in eight hours. 
 
 
 
The Model A75M features: 

* SCR based control 

* Automatic start/stop circuitry 

* Automatic Sensing of Fully-Charged Battery 

* Automatic 12 hour override timer 

* 3 Hour timing after 80% (normal mode) 

* 6 Hour timing after 80% (equalize mode) 

* 3 Selectable current ratings 

* Digital Display - Indicates amps, volts, amp hours, elapsed time, cooling time 

* "On Charge", "80%/Complete", "Equalize", and "Failure" lamps 

* Contact closure delay 

* Adjustable DC output (Start/Finish Rate)  

Note:  These output adjustments are inside the unit.
