Charging Times
Using 12V Repair
12V Repair is an advanced ba�ery recovery mode for repairing and storing, old, idle, damaged,
stra�fied or sulfated ba�eries. Not all ba�eries can be recovered.
Ba�eries tend to become damaged if kept at a low charge and/or never given the opportunity to
receive a full charge. The most common ba�ery problems are ba�ery sulfa�on and stra�fica�on.
Both ba�ery sulfa�on and stra�fica�on will ar�ficially raise the open circuit voltage of the ba�ery,
causing the ba�ery toappear fully charged, while providing low capacity.
Use 12V Repair in a�empt to reverse these problems. For op�mal results, take the 12-volt ba�ery
through a fullcharge cycle, bringing the ba�ery to full charge, before using this mode.12V Repair can
take up to four(4) hours to complete the recovery process .
The es�mated �me to charge a ba�ery is shown below. The size of the ba�ery (Ah) and its depth of
discharge (DOD) greatly affect its charging �me. The charge �me is based on an average depth of
discharge to a fully charged ba�ery and is for reference purposes only. Actual data may differ due to
ba�ery condi�ons. The �me to charge a normally discharged ba�ery is based on a 50% DOD.
CAUTION: USE THIS MODE WITH CARE. THIS MODE IS FOR 12-VOLT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ONLY.
THIS MODE USES A HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE AND MAY CAUSE SOME WATER LOSS IN WET
(FLOODED) CELL BATTERIES. BE ADVISED, SOME BATTERIES AND ELECTRONICS MAY BE SENSITIVE TO
HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGES. TO MINIMIZE RISKS TO ELECTRONICS, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY
BEFORE USING THIS MODE.
It is important to understand the differences and purpose of each charge mode and battery type.Do
not operate the charger until you confirm the appropriate charge mode and battery type for your
battery.
