RECHARGING THE UNIT
The charging circuitry in your unit utilizes a multi-phase, smart charging routine for more beneficial charging of the
onboard battery for enhanced reserve capacity and longer battery life.
The charging circuitry features the ability to properly charge both Standard Flooded and AGM batteries. This is an
important enhancement, as AGM batteries are designed for better cycling (charge/discharge) longevity and are spill-
proof, which is important in a mobile application such as this.
• All units ship with the charging mode set to the Standard Flooded Battery charging setting. This setting should be
changed if you choose to install an AGM battery in your unit. To change this setting, locate the control switch on the
charging board inside the unit and change the setting to AGM mode.
• Take care to ensure that cables and clamps are properly stored and secure and that the AC power cord is not
damaged in any way.
• Connect the AC power cord to a properly grounded outlet.
• The charging routine is fully automatic and will bring the onboard battery to full charge and then turn off. The charger
will turn back on if the battery discharges for any reason.
• The charger can be left connected to the AC outlet with no harm to the onboard battery.
