7. CHARGE TIME
7.1.
Battery Percentage and Charge Time
This charger adjusts the charging time in order to charge the battery completely, efficiently and safely. The microprocessor
automatically performs the necessary functions. This section includes guidelines that can be used to estimate charging times. Use the
following table to determine the time it will take to bring a battery to full charge.
First, identify where your battery fits into the chart.
CCA = Cold Cranking Amps
Find your battery's rating on the following chart, and note the charge time given for each charger setting. The times given are for
batteries with a 50% charge prior to recharging. Add more time for severely discharged batteries.
