FEATURES
• This unit has three charge rate settings, accessed by the Charge Rate
Selector 2A/4A/6A button:
a) 2 amps: smaller batteries, as in lawn mowers, snowmobiles, motorcycles, etc.
b) 4 amps: mid-sized batteries, as in small cars
c) 6 amps: automobile batteries and light trucks
• Automatic float charge monitoring
• Microprocessor-controlled for proper operation and for fault detection

• Ideal during winter season when vehicle’s starting performance is reduced
by cold or extreme weather conditions
• Single beep tone indicates a button is pressed or a mode change occurs
Controls and Indicators
Stage One –
Rapid Start Charge at 6 amps delivers maximum charging amper-
age to “wake up” any serviceable 12 volt battery and allows for quick engine start-
ing in just 8 minutes (based on a midsize vehicle battery at 50% charge level).
When battery reaches a maximum safe predetermined voltage, the charger will
automatically signal a “beep” and move into Stage 2 of the charging process.
Stage Two –
Absorption Charge maintains the maximum possible charge at a con-
stant, safe, predetermined voltage. During the phase, voltage absorption regulation
charge, the charging voltage remains constant, while the actual charging current is
reduced to allow for the maximum proper internal chemical energy transfer. At the
end of Stage 2, the charger will automatically move into Stage 3 charge mode.
Stage Three –
Top-Off Charge voltage is automatically maintained and reduced
to a predetermined level while current is adjusted for a safe, effective battery
charge. At the conclusion of Stage 3, the unit will BEEP signaling the completion
of the charging cycle.
The Automatic Float Charge feature is ideal for maintaining a battery. It automati-
cally “tops off” a battery as needed, to keep it fully charged all the time.
The Charge Rate Selector 2A/4A/6A
button allows the user to select the char-
ger rate based on battery size. This selection and actual battery charge rate
