12. CALCULATING CHARGE TIME
Use the following table to more accurately
determine the time it will take to bring a
battery to full charge.
CCA = Cold Cranking Amps
RC
= Reserve Capacity
Ah = Amp Hour
NR
= Not Recommended
MO = Maintain Only
Find your battery’s rating on the chart
below, and note the charge time given
for each charger setting. The times given
are for batteries with a 50% charge prior
to recharging. Add more time for severely
discharged batteries.

13. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
A minimal amount of care can keep your
battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are
finished charging. Wipe off any battery
fluid that may have come in contact with
the clamps to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the
charger with a soft cloth will keep the
finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly
when storing the charger. This will help
prevent accidental damage to the cords
and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC
power outlet, in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not
store the clamps clipped together, clipped
to the handle, on or around metal, or
clipped to the cables.
14. TROUBLESHOOTING/ERROR CODES
Error Codes
ERROR CODE DESCRIPTION REASON/SOLUTION
F01
The battery voltage is still
under 10V (for a 12V battery)
or 5V (for a 6V battery) after
2 hours of charging.
The battery could be bad. Have it checked or
replaced.
F02
The charger cannot desulfate
the battery.
The battery could not be desulfated; have it
checked or replaced.
F03
The battery was unable to
reach the “full charge” voltage.
May be caused by trying to charge a large battery
or bank of batteries on too low of a current setting.
Try again with a higher current setting or have the
battery checked or replaced.
F04
The connections to the battery
are reversed.
The battery is connected backwards. Unplug the
charger and reverse the connections to the battery.
F05
The charger was unable to
keep the battery fully charged
