Note:

Do not use this battery charger to charge batteries
larger than those typically found in boats,
passenger cars, or light trucks.

Preactivation of a Discharged Battery

Preactivation will raise the voltage in a 12 volt battery to a
level high enough to allow the charger to operate in the
automatic mode. This step is required if you have been
attempting to charge a low or dead battery and the battery
has not been accepting any charge.

Ξ Select the START position on the SELECT

FUNCTION switch.

Ξ Select the highest charging position on the SELECT

SETTING switch. (Not the Start setting.)

Ξ Plug the ac power cord into a wall outlet and charge

the 12 volt battery for 5–15 minutes.

Ξ Select the CHARGE position on the SELECT

FUNCTION switch.

The battery should now accept the charge and the
amperage meter should indicate 6–15 amps. If not, the
battery should be professionally tested. If battery is okay,
call Technical Service at (866) 236-0044.

MODEL 87122

This charger is designed to charge marine deep cycle typ
batteries and is equipped with Auto On-Off Technology.
After connecting to a 12 volt battery, the charger needs to
sense a minimum voltage condition to begin charging and
it will stop charging when it reaches the maximum voltage
condition, but it will continue to monitor the battery charge
level. The charger will "hum" as it monitors. If the battery
charge level drops, the charger will begin charging again.

Note:

If the charger does not sense a minimum voltage
condition because of a deeply discharged battery,
then preactivation of the battery is required. The
meter will read zero or near zero.

Step 1: Make Connections

Make sure ac power cord is unplugged from wall outlet.
Make proper connections to the battery as explained in
sections F through H.

Step 2: Select Function (Switch 1)

Select the AUTO position to
charge the battery. This is the
automatic mode for 12 volt
batteries.

Select the MANUAL/ACTIVATE
position to preactivate a
discharged battery. or charge a
6V battery.

Step 3: Select Setting (Switch 2)

Select the 12 A 12 V AUTO
position if you are charging
deep cycle lead acid
batteries, such as those
used boats. Plug the ac
power cord into the wall
outlet. The meter will read
up to 15 amps and taper

down to 6 or 7 as the battery reaches full charge. When
the battery is fully charged the charge complete light will
come on, the meter will drop to 0 amps, and the charger
will automatically stop charging.

Select the 12 A 6 V position for charging 6 volt batteries.
Plug the ac power cord into the wall outlet. This setting
does not taper and does not shut off automatically.

Note:

Do not use this battery charger to charge batteries
larger than those typically found in boats,
passenger cars, or light trucks.
