ESTIMATED TIME TO CHARGE
(BATTERYCAPACITY)+(CHARGER CURRENT)= HOURS or
(AMP HOURS)+(AMPS)= EST. HOURS TO CHARGE
Suppose you have a 60Amp-Hour Battery. Now Let's say you have a 10 Amps Char-
ger that will deliver 10 Amps for as long as it takes to get the battery voltage up to its
recharged Level. So, how long will it take to actually charge the battery? You can
make a calculated guess by just dividing two numbers
Example: (60AMP HOURS) DIVIDED BY (10AMPS)=6 HOURS
Some large capacity batteries may take up to 24 hours or even days to fully charge
Note: it is recommended that only one battery be charged at a time
FULLY DISCHARGEDBATTERIES - LEAD ACID (Pb) CHARGING MODE:
If your battery is totally discharged(below 2.0 volts) the BATTERY CHARGER circuit-
ry will not start due to its internal safety circuit. The internal safety circuit of the
battery charger must sense more than 2.0 volts in the battery before it will allow the
charging circuit to turn on. Otherwise, the charger is inoperable. In this case, the bad
battery indicator light will flash, which means charging has not been initiated to
initiate charge on a battery that is below 2.0 volts, you must fool the battery charger
circuitry by momentarily jumping the discharged battery to a known charged
battery(above 2.0 volts) This will trick the charger in to initializing the charging
sequence
Note: Unless the battery was rapidly discharged (lights left on overnight) most
12 volt lead acid batteries that are at a state of charge that is less than 9 volts
are likely to be worn out or defective
HOUR SAFETY FEATURE:
A 72 hour Safety Timer will commence anytime the charger is on. This feature is
designed to protect marginal batteries from over charging. If the battery voltage
reaches the proper level within 72 hours, the charger will automatically switch to float
mode. If your battery is marginal or defective, the Battery Charger will stop all the
happens, the bad battery indicator will be indicated. If this is the case, please contact
your local battery deal and have the battery tested
