will artificially raise the open circuit voltage of the battery, causing the battery to appear fully charged, while providing low capacity. Use 12V Repair in attempt to reverse these problems. For optimal
results, take the 12-volt battery through a full charge cycle, bringing the battery to full charge, before using this mode. 12V Repair can take up to four (4) hours to complete the recovery process
and will return to Standby when completed.
CAUTION.
USE THIS MODE WITH CARE. THIS MODE IS FOR 12-VOLT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ONLY. THIS MODE USES A HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE AND MAY CAUSE SOME WATER LOSS IN WET
(FLOODED) CELL BATTERIES. BE ADVISED, SOME BATTERIES AND ELECTRONICS MAY BE SENSITIVE TO HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGES. TO MINIMIZE RISKS TO ELECTRONICS, DISCONNECT THE
BATTERY BEFORE USING THIS MODE.
Force Mode. [Press & Hold for 5 seconds]
Force mode allow the charger to manually begin charging when the connected battery’s voltage is too low to be detected. If battery voltage is too low for the charger to detect,
press and hold the mode button for 5 seconds to activate Force Mode, then select the appropriate mode. All available modes will flash. Once a charge mode is selected, the
Charge Mode LED and Charge LED will alternate between each other, indicating Force Mode is active. After five (5) minutes the charger will return to the normal charge operation
and low voltage detection will be reactivated.
CAUTION.
USE THIS MODE WITH EXTREME CARE. FORCE MODE DISABLES SAFETY FEATURES AND LIVE POWER IS PRESENT AT THE CONNECTORS. ENSURE ALL
CONNECTIONS ARE MADE PRIOR TO ENTERING FORCE MODE, AND DO NOT TOUCH CONNECTIONS TOGETHER. RISK OF SPARKS, FIRE, EXPLOSION, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, INJURY, AND DEATH.
Connecting to the Battery.
Do not connect the AC power plug until all other connections are made. Identify the correct polarity of the battery terminals on the battery. Do not make any connections
to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin, sheet metal parts. The below instructions are for a negative ground system (most common). If your boat or vehicle is a positive ground
system (very uncommon), follow the below instructions in reverse order.
1.) Connect the positive (red) eyelet terminal connector to the positive (POS,P,+) battery terminal.
2.) Connect the negative (black) eyelet terminal connector to the negative (NEG,N,-) battery terminal.
3.) Connect the battery charger into a suitable electrical outlet. Do not face the battery when making this connection.
4.) When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the negative first (or positive first for positive ground systems).
