CHARGE MODE

Push the (CHRG) button to get to the charge screen directly. You may also push the (LEFT ARROW) button until
you see the message 'CHARGE#PK1 3.0'. The cursor will be under the digit that is settable. To set any other digit,
simply push the (LEFT ARROW) button or (RIGHT ARROW) button until the cursor is under the digit. To
increment the digit setting, push the (UP ARROW/OFF) button until you reach the desired setting. The value can be
set up to a maximum of 19.9 amps at this time, but the Turbothirty will only allow you to run a maximum of 12.0
amps when you push the (START) button. You can also set the number of peaks by setting the number next to the
'#PK' part of the screen. Using 1 peak will charge your battery completely. Using peaks 2 and 3 will repeak your
battery. The charge amps for peaks 2 and 3, delay between peaks, Turboflex intensity, Turboflex on/off and peak
detect drop back voltages are settable in the default values menu. (see DEFAULT VALUES MENU)
To run the charge mode, you must have the message 'CHARGE #PK1 3.0' on the display. When you push the
(START) button, the message 'CHARGE 1 XX.XX' will appear on the second line of the display. The 'XX.XX' is
the actual supply voltage, under load, at the Turbothirty. The '1' after 'CHARGING' tells which peak the charge is
on. During time delay, the upper left hand number is the amount of delay time that has been completed. The top
line of the display, from left to right, will show the actual charge time in seconds, the pack volts, charge current and
will be updated constantly. The actual charge current shown on the display will fluctuate slightly and will be within
0.1 of an amp of the value selected.
After a completed charge, the number in the upper left hand corner will be the time since the charge has been
completed. To get the actual charge time, just push the (LEF ARROW) push button and the time will appear in the
upper left hand corner of the display. It is normal and desirable for the batteries to be slightly warm at the end of the
charge cycle. If your battery false peaked, the cells will be cold and the charge time will be short. For maximum
performance, never repeak your batteries more than twice.
The charge mode will only allow a maximum of 3000mah charge before automatically shutting off. This is to
assure that batteries that tend not to peak will be shut off before they are overcharged excessively.
