OPERA
TION
When an AUTOMATIC CHARGE is performed, the charger automatically switches to the maintain mode once
the battery is charged.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING
When the FULL CHARGE (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 battery voltage drops
below a preset level, the charger will go back into charge mode until the battery voltage returns to the full
charge level, at which point the charger will return to maintain mode. The voltage is maintained at a level
determined by the battery type selected.
MAINTAIN MODE
Note:
The maintain mode technology utilized in this charger 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.
Occasionally monitoring your battery and the charging process is recommended.
Note:
An automatic charger automatically switches between charge mode and maintain mode as necessary.
The FULL CHARGE (green) LED will light up when the battery is at full charge and off when the voltage drops
below a preset level and the charger goes into charge mode. This cycle will continue, and the FULL CHARGE
(green) LED will stay on for longer periods of time as the battery becomes more fully charged. This is not
applicable when in the manual charging mode.
When the FULL CHARGE (green) LED is lit, the charger has stopped charging and switched to the maintain
mode of operation.
Your battery charger can be used to jump start your car if the battery is low. Follow these instructions on
how to use the ENGINE START feature.
Note:
If you have charged the battery and it still will not start your car, do not use the ENGINE START feature,
or it could damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
1. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to the battery. Refer to the safety
information section.
2. Plug the charger’s AC power cord into the AC outlet.
