Page 12: Operating Instructions
If it is necessary to remove the battery prior to charging, always remove the grounded terminal first. Ensure all electrical accessories are off prior to charging. It is best to clean the battery terminals prior to charging. Using a battery terminal brush is a good way to remove corrosion. When charging a lead-acid battery that is not sealed, it may be necessary to add distilled water into battery so the battery acid solution reaches the level as specified by manufacturer. - Page 13 Note: If you want your battery to sustain a longer life, slow charges it. Slow charging will take longer but will charge your battery more thoroughly. If your battery needs to charge in a short amount of time, use the rapid charge setting. Battery Reconditioning When your battery has been unused for long periods of time, the battery will be in a deep discharged state.
- Page 14 Charging Display The digital display has three modes of content. By pressing the button, you can toggle between the modes. • Current – the charging current (A) will be displayed. • Voltage – the charging voltage (V) will be displayed. Note: The voltage displayed is the charging voltage and usually will be higher than the battery’s resting voltage.
- Page 15 1. Desulfation: Pulse charges the battery to break down the buildup of lead sulphate crystals. Lead sulphate crystals can occur when a battery has been discharged or left unused for a period of time, seriously affecting the performance and lifetime of the battery.
