The KickAss 25A DCDC charger is capable of charging other Battery Chemistries. The
charger must be initially set to Lithium and will remain as such once selected. In an
emergency situation another battery type could be used in the battery box, however
make sure the correct battery type is selected
To set the battery type, press and hold the mode button for 5 seconds or until the
battery light starts flashing. Then select from either GEL, AGM, WET, CALCIUM or
LITHIUM and wait for the battery light to stop flashing. When this occurs, your selection
is saved.

NOTE: When in float stage, the battery is fully charged. At float stage, when battery voltage drops
to 12.7V, the charger will restart charging from BULK stage.

CHARGING
12V 25A DC 4-STAGE
Begins after a continuous float stage of 10 days and pulses power
through the battery using the same current and voltage as the
absorption stage to maintain charge and desulphate. During this time, if
the voltage of the auxiliary battery drops below 12.6V, the charger will
restart the charge cycle at Bulk. Once the pulse is completed, the
charger reverts to float stage.
