• vOLTAGE:
clamps in DC volts.
10.2 BATTERy TyPE BUTTON
Use this button to set the type of battery to be charged to one of the fol-
lowing:
• Regular
in cars, trucks and motorcycles. These batteries have vent caps and are
often marked "Low Maintenance" or "Maintenance-free". This type of
battery is designed to deliver quick bursts of energy (such as starting en-
gines) and have a greater plate count. The plates will also be thinner and
have somewhat different material composition. Regular batteries should
not be used for deep cycle applications
Deep-Cycle
•
ally marked as "Deep-Cycle" or "Marine". Deep-cycle batteries are usually
larger than the other types. This type of battery has less instant energy
but somewhat greater long-term energy delivery than regular batteries.
Deep cycle batteries have thicker plates and can survive a number of
discharge cycles.
• AGM – Set button to STANDARD. The Absorbed Glass Matt construction
allows the electrolyte to be suspended in close proximity with the plate's
active material. In theory, this enhances both the discharge and recharge
efficiency. Actually, the AGM batteries are a variant of Sealed VRLA bat-
teries. Popular usage high performance engine starting, power sports,
deep cycle, solar and storage battery. AGM batteries are typically good
