MULTI-STAGE CHARGE (TYPICAL) WITH LCD DISPLAY
Use of an LCD Display, does not affect nor alter the charge process in any way.
It only converts messages from what is otherwise a blinking LED into readable
characters. Therefore, refer to the previous section for a description of a typical
charge stage and reference the displayed LCD messages, below.
Menu Select Button:

Depressing and holding depressed this button for 10 seconds at power up,
forces charger to insert the Equalization Stage into the charge algorithm
regiment IF and only IF, that charge MODE selected, would allow it. After
power up, and if switch is again held depressed for 10 seconds, the
Equalization Charge Stage is toggled to OFF (de-asserted from the charge
algorithm Regiment).
o
If depressed for at least 1 second, but released less than 10 seconds, the
menu display toggles up to the next incremental menu and stays active for
approximately 30seconds before reverting back to the default menu in effect
