1. INTRODUCING THE CHARGER
The 2603 battery charger is a "2 stage" charger, and is superior to traditional
automotive chargers. Its precisely regulated output recharges your battery safely and
quickly. After it has recharged your battery, it supplies just enough current to
compensate for the charge that a battery can lose during storage. Unlike automotive
trickle chargers, the 2603 will not boil off the electrolytes in properly installed and
maintained batteries. The red and green LED's, mounted on the charger face, let you
know the unit is recharging and maintaining your batteries.
