To get to this mode, push the (LEFT ARROW) button until the message 'BUZ BOX SEC XX' appears. You may
also push the (LEFT ARROW) button and the (UP ARROW/OFF) button. The maximum allowable seconds is 19.
To set the number of amps to charge, push the (LEFT ARROW) button until the message 'BUZ BOX AMPXX'
appears. The 'XX' indicates the number of amps to be charged. Set the amps by using the (LEFT ARROW) button
and the (UP ARROW.OFF) button. The maximum amps allowable in this mode is 18 amps.
DO NOT use this mode more than once per charge as it could cause the batteries to vent. Use of this bode at high
charge amps can degrade your batteries. DO NOT use on PURPLE P-170 cells or BLACK SCRC cells as they will
degrade quickly at high charge amps. Use only on SCR cells.
SAVE SETUP SETTABLE VALUES
To get to this mode, push the (LEFT ARROW) button until the message 'SAVE SETUP X' appears. You may also
push the (LEFT ARROW) button and hold it down while then pressing the (UP ARROW/OFF) button to get to
there directly. Pushing the (START) button will store all the settable values in one of the three selectable power
down memories for use the next time you power up the Turbothirty.
LOAD SETUP SETTABLE VALUES
To get to this mode push the (LEFT ARROW) button until the message 'LOAD SETUP X' appears. You may also
push the (LEFT ARROW) button and hold it down while then pressing the (MENU) button to get to there directly.
Pushing the (START) button will load all the settable values from one of the three selectable power down memories.
TURBOFLEX
The Turbothirty employs our own version of reflex charging called TurboFlex. Turboflex charging can recondition
cells by lowering the internal resistance thru breaking up of the crystalline structure formed by aging cells, it can
also reduce heat buildup during charging by reducing gas build up the cells. Before charging you may select one of
9 intensities for each of the three peaks in the default menu. Also TurboFlex may be turned on or off for each of the
three peaks. Intensity 1 is the lowest and 9 is the highest. We recommend intensity 3 for RED SCR's and 6 for
BLACK SCRC's or PURPLE P-170 cells. You can jump directly to the Turboflex screen for the first peak by
pushing and holding down the (LEFT ARROW) button and then pushing the (START) button.
DEFAULT MENU
The default menu can be selected by pushing the (MENU CHNG) push button. Pushing the (LEFT ARROW) or
(RIGHT ARROW) will position the cursor under the desired value to change. A listing of the screens in this menu
is shown in the GENERAL OPERATION section. The main menu can be returned to by pushing the (MENU
CHNG) push button again.
FLASE PEAKS
False peaks can be caused by several things, Batteries that have been full discharged can false peak for several
minutes. Use the long lockout to alleviate this problem. Another cause is using alligator clips on solid leads. This
can produce a poor connection that can't handle the charge current. It is best to clip onto braided wire or multi-
strand wire where more area is contacted by the alligator clips. Using connectors that are worn or dirty can also
produce false peaks because of poor connections. Turboflexing can also cause batteries that haven't been flex
charged before to false peak. Either continue to restart the Turbothirty until the batteries continue to charge or use
the long lockout so the batteries will charge 10 minutes before the peak detecting occurs.
DISCHARGING FOR PERFORMANCE
To get maximum performance from your batteries, discharge them first using the discharge function then fully
discharge them using a .1 ohm 10 watt or a 1 ohm 5 watt resistor across each cell until the pack is cool. Any longer
