DISPLAY MODE SWITCH

Use this switch to set the function of the
digital meter to one of the following:

BATTERY %:

 The digital meter

displays an estimate of the percent of
charge of the battery connected to the
charger battery clamps.

VOLTAGE: 

The digital meter displays

the voltage at the charger battery
clamps in DC volts.

CHARGE RATE SWITCH

Use this switch button to set the charge
rate to one of the following three.

• 2A CHARGE RATE:

 Intended for

charging small batteries such as
those commonly used in garden
tractors, snow mobiles and motor-
cycles. The 2A rate is not intended to
be used as a trickle charger for larger
batteries.

12A 

or 

25A CHARGE RATE:

 Use for

charging automotive batteries, marine
batteries, and deep cycle batteries.
Not intended for industrial applica-
tions.

BATTERY TYPE SWITCH

Use this switch button to set the type of
battery to be charged to one of the
following three.

2500A CONTROL PANEL

REGULAR: 

This is the type of battery

usually used in cars, trucks, and
motorcycles. These batteries have
vent caps and are often marked “low
maintenance” or “maintenance-free”.

DEEP CYCLE: 

Deep cycle batteries

are usually marked as “deep cycle” or
“marine”. Deep cycle batteries are
usually larger than the other types.

AGM, GEL CELL: 

AGM and gel cell

batteries have sealed cases without
vent caps. Such batteries are often
smaller than the other types.

With the exception of AGM and gel cell
batteries, all other battery types may or
may not have vent caps. 

Vent caps are

located on top of the battery and provide
a means to add distilled water when
needed. Batteries should be marked
with their type. If charging a battery that
is not marked, check the manual of the
item that uses the battery. If the battery
type is unknown, use the REGULAR
setting. Make sure the battery complies
with the safety instructions on page 3.
