Completion of Charge:
Charge completion is indicated by the CHARGED (green) LED. When lit, the charger
has stopped charging and switched to the Maintain Mode of operation. If the DEEP
CYCLE battery type is selected, the CHARGED (green) LED comes on when the
battery is charged enough for normal use.
Maintain Mode:
When the CHARGED (green) LED is lit, the charger has started Maintain Mode.
In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a small
current, when necessary. The voltage is maintained at a level determined by the
BATTERY TYPE selected.
Using The Battery Voltage Tester:
Overview
This battery charger has a built-in voltmeter to test your battery's state of charge.
The charger does not have a built in load tester. As such, a recently charged battery
could have a temporarily high voltage due to what is known as "surface charge".
The voltage of such a battery will gradually drop during the period immediately after
the charging system is disengaged. Consequently, the tester could display
inconsistent values for such a battery. For a more accurate reading, the surface
charge should be removed by temporarily creating a load on the battery, such as by
turning on lights or other accessories for a couple of minutes before you read the
display. Read it a couple of minutes after you have shut the headlights off.
Testing Sequence: There are four basic steps required to test the battery state
of charge:
1. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger
to the battery following the instructions given.
2. Plug the charger AC power cord into the AC outlet.
3. If necessary, press the BATTERY TYPE button until the correct type is indicated.
4. Read the voltage on the digital display or press the display mode button to set the
tester to BATTERY % to read the voltage as a percent of charge.
