Led Indicators - DieHard 200.713151 Owner's Manual

Charge Type:
• Use the MANUAL setting only ifyou
check the charging progress frequently.
The charger will not stop charging when
the battery reaches full charge, possibly
damaging the battery if left on too long.
You must monitor and unplug the
charger when battery is fully charged.
• Use the AUTOMATIC DEEP-CYCLE
setting for all deep-cycle battery
charging. The charger will automatically
stop charging when the battery reaches
full charge and begin charging again
when battery requires.
• Use the AUTOMATIC REGULAR setting
for all but deep-cycle batteries. The
charger will automatically stop charging
when the battery reaches full charge
and begin charging again when battery
requires.
• A severely discharged battery may not
have enough charge to start the control
circuit in an automatic setting. In this
case, charge on manual until the
battery has enough charge to accept an
automatic setting.

Charge Rate:
• Use the 2 AMP charge rate setting for
charging small batteries and warming
large batteries.The lower the charge
rate, the longer it will take to charge
the battery.
• Use the 15 AMP rate setting for
automotive, deep cycle and other large
batteries.
• Use the 125 AMP ENGINE START
setting only to assist in cranking the
engine.

AMMETER:
The ammeter indicates the measured
amount of amperes being drawn by the
battery. When you first start charging a
battery, the reading will be high, with
the needle near 15 using the 15 amp
charging rate.
• In the MANUAL setting, as the battery
charges, the needle will fall to about 7
or 8 amps, indicating a charged battery.
In either AUTOMATIC setting, the
needle will fall to zero and the charger
will shut off when the charger's control
circuit senses a full charge. A freshly
charged battery's voltage will drop
shortly after charging stops, and the
charger, if left connected, may resume
charging. This off-and-on cycling will
continue untilthe battery's voltage no
longer drops enough to restart the
charger.
• At the 2 amp charging rate you will
notice very little needle movement.
When cranking the engine while using
the ENGINE START feature, the needle
will swing into the Start (red) area of the
scale.
