Example:
Amp Hour Rating = Reserve Capacity
+ 16
2
NOTE
: The Reserve Capacity can be obtained from the battery specification
sheet or the owner’s manual.
To calculate the time needed for a charge:
Find the percent of charge needed. (A battery at 50 percent charge that will
1.
be charged to 100 percent needs another 50 percent (.50)).
Multiply the Amp Hour Rating by the charge needed (.50) and divide by the
2.
charger setting.
Multiply the results by 1.25 and you will have the total time needed, in
3.
hours, to bring the battery to full charge.
Add an additional hour for a deep-cycle battery.
4.
Example
:
Amp Hour Rating x % of charge needed x 1.25 = hours of charge
Charger Setting
100 (AH Rating) x 0.50 (charge needed)
x 1.25 = 3.125 hours
20 (Charger Setting)
100 x 0.50 x 1.25 = 6.25

You would need to charge your 100-Ampere Hour Battery for a little more than
6 hours at the 10-Amp charge rate using the above example.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
14.
After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the
14.1
battery charger (see sections 6, 7 and 8).
Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the
14.2
terminals, cords, and the charger case.
Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working
14.3
condition, for example, the plastic boots on the battery clips.
Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-serviceable
14.4
parts.
All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personal.
14.5
MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
15.
Store the charger unplugged, in an upright position. The cord will still conduct
15.1
electricity until it is unplugged from the outlet.
Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
15.2
Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or
15.3
clipped to cables.
If the charger is moved around the shop or transported to another location,
15.4
take care to avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and charger. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury or property damage.
