These fi ne tuned selections of fl oat voltages enable the best voltage level for maximum batt ery life. Choose 13.8V when in doubt
or in Power Supply Mode.
Follow the markings on Deep Cycle batt eries of the Standby fl oat voltage.
B2. Recommended Batt ery Capacity
The following minimum AH capacities are a generalized suggestion, some batt eries can take higher charge current, check with
