Choosing A Battery Type Setting; Pre-Charge Battery Activation - Pro-Logix SOLAR PL3760 Operator's Manual

Choosing a Charging Rate
Choose a charging rate that is appropriate for the size and type of battery being charged. Use the battery
manufacturer's specific instructions or see the guidelines below.
Typical rates are:
Small Motorcycle/Powersport
Lawn Mower/Tractor
Deep Cycle
Maintenance Free Automotive or Marine Cranking
Heavy Duty Commercial
Do not exceed the maximum charge rate recommended by the battery manufacturer or the chart above.

Choosing a Battery Type Setting

PRO-LOGIX Charger models utilize advanced charging technology to deliver precise charge controls, enabling them
to properly charge a wide variety of battery types.
• For Conventional and Maintenance Free Flooded (wet) Cell batteries: Choose STANDARD (STD).
• For AGM batteries: Choose AGM.
• For Spiral Wound Batteries: Choose AGM.
For batteries identified as Deep Cycle or Marine batteries, determine the construction of the battery. Is it a Wet cell,
AGM or Spiral Wound type of construction? Battery construction will determine the proper battery type selection.

Pre-Charge Battery Activation

Some modern batteries can cause charging problems if they have been deeply discharged. The plates in these
batteries can begin sulfating quickly, forming a barrier to accepting a charge. This condition will be indicated
by an extremely low (or zero) ammeter reading, indicating that the battery is not accepting current from the
charger. A deeply discharged battery such as this may take as long as 4 to 8 hours before it will accept a charge.
The Automatic Charging mode attempts to detect batteries with this condition (see Battery Repair Mode in
PREPARATION) and automatically adjusts for it.
