10. CONTROL PANEL

DIGITAL DISPLAY
The Digital Display gives a digital indication
of voltage, amperage, and battery %. It
always starts in Voltage mode, but can be
switched to a different mode by pressing
the Display button as shown below:
Boost mode:
Voltage > OFF > Amperage...
Charge/Maintain mode:
Voltage > OFF > Battery Percentage >
Amperage...
Engine Start mode:
Voltage (No Amperes or Battery
Percentage Mode) If the process is
stopped on any mode (by pressing the
START/STOP button), the display will
show "OFF".
NOTE: When in Charge/Maintain mode,
the display will automatically go into sleep
mode (shut-off) after 2 minutes. To turn the
display back on, press any push-button.
DISPLAY BUTTON
Use this button to set the function of the
digital display to one of the following:
(Battery %) – The digital display
shows an estimated charge percentage
of the battery connected to the charger's
battery clamps, when charging.
(Amps) – The display shows the
output current, in amps.
(Voltage) – The Digital Display shows
the voltage at the charger battery clamps,
in DC volts, while idling. The auto detection
voltage, 6 or 12, will be displayed while
boosting/charging.
START/STOP BUTTON
Use this button to start or stop the
charging or boosting process, after the
battery is properly connected and an
output or rate has been selected.
RATE SELECTION BUTTON
Use this button to select one of the
following rates:
40A Boost – For quickly adding
energy to a severely discharged or large
capacity battery.
6<>2A Charge/Maintain – For
charging small and large batteries. Not
recommended for industrial applications.
12V/225A Engine Start –
Provides 225A of engine start capabilities
for 12V battery systems.
6V/125A Engine Start –
Provides 125A of engine start capabilities
for 6V battery systems.
LED INDICATORS
LEDs light to indicate the following:
– The Digital Display shows the
percentage of the battery.
– The Digital Display shows the output
current, in Amps.
– The Digital Display shows the
battery voltage.
Charge/Maintain – The charger is in
6<>2A Charge/Maintain mode.
Boost – The charger is in
40A Boost mode.
12V Engine Start – The charger is in
the 12V Engine Start mode.
6V Engine Start – The charger is in
the 6V Engine Start mode.
– The charger has detected that a
battery is connected, and is performing
the selected operation.
Charged/Maintaining –
The battery is fully charged and the
charger is in maintain mode.
Reversed Clamps (red LED flashing) –
The connections are reversed.
Bad Battery (red LED solid) –
The charger has detected a problem with
the battery. See Troubleshooting for more
information.
NOTE: See Operating Instructions for a
complete description of the charger modes.
BATTERY TYPE BUTTON
Use this button to select the type of battery.
– Used in cars, trucks and motorcycles,
these batteries have vent caps and
are often marked "low maintenance" or
"maintenance-free". This type of battery is
designed to deliver quick bursts of energy
(such as starting engines) and has a greater
plate count. The plates are thinner and have
somewhat different material composition.
Standard batteries should not be used for
deep-cycle applications.
– The Absorbed Glass Mat
construction allows the electrolyte to be
suspended in close proximity with the
plate's active material. In theory, this
enhances both the discharge and recharge
efficiency. The AGM batteries are a variant
of Sealed VRLA (valve regulated lead-acid)
batteries. Popular uses include high-
performance engine starting, power sports,
deep-cycle, solar and storage batteries.
