ON/OFF -
this prepares the charger to be placed in any of the operating modes. Pressing the ON/OFF button
immediately stops any operating mode and the display shows the circulating pattern (FIGURE 4B)
2/6/12A
allows the user to select the charger rate based on battery size. This selection and actual battery charge rate
are monitored by the microprocessor and will stop charging if the rate is too fast or too slow for battery size or
condition.
BATTERY RECONDITION
is an automatic mode that once started continues for 24 hours and then stops. A series of
electronic pulses are sent into the battery enabling the sulfates to once again accept and release energy so the battery will
perform at a greater capacity. More than 24 hours may be needed to restore. If 5 cycles does not improve battery
performance, discontinue and recycle the battery.
ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE CHECK
Enables a five second check that measures the battery voltage. This check is repeated at
electrical load and "no load" levels and allows the user to determine if the alternator can keep up with load demands.
The results can indicate alternator service may be required.
Periodic reconditioning is recommended to maintain a battery’s optimum performance.
