Battery Chemistry Selection The multi chemistry function allows you to set the optimum charging profile to suit each batteries chemistry type: Gel, AGM, Lead Acid (WET) and calcium. This ensures correct and thorough charging and maximises battery performance and battery life Designed for Gel batteries and applies a maximum charge of 14.1v (RSCPR824: 28.2v) Designed for AGM batteries and applies a maximum charge of 14.4v (RSCPR824: 28.8v) Lead Acid (Wet)
Temperature Compensation (RSCP25, RSCP35, RSCP50 and RSCP824) Allows the monitoring of the battery’s temperature for safe battery charging. The temperature sensor monitors the battery temperature and adjusts the SmartChargePro’s output to prevent over heating. Insert the temperature sensor into the plug at the rear of the charger. Install the ring terminal on the temperature sensor onto the negative battery post.
