automatically use the Boost
rate, during first 10 minutes,
if needed, and then switch to
the Charge rate to charge the
battery efficiently.

AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When the 6<>2A Charge rate is
selected, the charger switches to
the maintain mode automatically
after the battery is charged.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed
normally, charging will abort. When
charging aborts, the charger’s
output is shut off. The digital display
will show
FNN
where
nn
is an error
code (see
Troubleshooting
for a
description of the error codes). Do
not continue attempting to charge
this battery. Have it checked or
replaced.
DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10
hours. If desulfation fails, the
display will show
F02
, charging will
abort and the Bad Battery (red)
LED will light.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by
the Charged/Maintaining (green)
LED. When lit, the charger has
switched to the maintain mode of
operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the Charged/Maintaining
(green) LED is lit, the charger
has started maintain mode. In
this mode, the charger keeps the
battery fully charged by delivering
a small current when necessary.
If the charger has to provide an
excessive maintain current for a
continuous 12 hour period, it will
go into abort mode (see
Aborted
Charg
e section). This is usually
caused by a drain on the battery
or the battery could be bad.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The unit charges and maintains
6V and 12V batteries.
NOTE:
The maintain mode
technology allows you to safely
charge and maintain a healthy
battery for extended periods of
time. However, problems with the
battery, electrical problems in the
vehicle, improper connections or
other unanticipated conditions
could cause excessive current
draws. As such, occasionally
monitoring your battery and the
charging process is required.
