VOLTAGE TESTER AND CHARGER

NOTE:

 When waiting for cranking or after cooling down, if battery voltage is 

lower than 14.5V (for a 12V battery), charger will provide maximum 10A to 
charge the battery. When battery voltage reaches to 14.5V (whether STD or 
AGM or GEL battery type), the output current reduces to 0 and CHARGED/
MAINTAINING LED is lit.

When first turned on, the unit operates only as a tester, not as a charger. 
Selecting a charge rate activates the battery charger and deactivates the 
tester. To change the battery charger back to a tester, press the RATE SE-
LECTION/ENGINE START button until OFF is displayed, and press the DIS-
PLAY button and let the VOLTAGE LED illuminate to show battery voltage. 

NOTE:

 The battery tester is only designed to test batteries. Testing a device 

with a rapidly changing voltage could yield unexpected or inaccurate results.

ALTERNATOR CHECK

1.  With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to 

the battery, following the instructions given in previous sections.

3.  Cool Down

 - After cranking, the charger enters a mandatory 240 

seconds cool down state (Pressing any button does NOT work). The 
digital display indicates the remaining cool down time in seconds. It 
starts at 240 and counts down to 0. After 4 minutes, the digital display 
will change from displaying the countdown to displaying
