battery fully charged by delivering
a small current when necessary.
If the charger has to provide an
excessive maintain current for a
continuous 12 hour period, it will
go into abort mode (see Aborted
Charge section). This is usually
caused by a drain on the battery
or the battery could be bad.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The unit charges and maintains
6V and 12V batteries.
NOTE: The maintain mode
technology allows you to safely
charge and maintain a healthy
battery for extended periods of
time. However, problems with the
battery, electrical problems in the
vehicle, improper connections or
other unanticipated conditions
could cause excessive current
draws. As such, occasionally
monitoring your battery and the
charging process is required.
USING THE ENGINE START
FEATURE
Your battery charger can be used
to jump start your car if the battery
is low. Follow all safety instructions
and precautions for charging
your battery. Wear complete eye
protection and protective clothing.

installed in the vehicle could cause
damage to the vehicle's electrical
system.
NOTE: If you have charged the
battery and it still will not start your
car, do not use the Engine Start
feature, or it could damage the
vehicle's electrical system. Have
the battery checked.
