The recommended battery type for the CANADA PROOF CP12V30A is AGM, as it is the default setting. However, the unit supports Gel, AGM, WET (conventional lead acid), and Calcium battery types. The correct type should be selected based on the battery manufacturer's specifications.

FEATURE ●Advanced MCU control pulse width modulated (PWM) technology, high efficiency operation. ●Target for Gel, AGM, Conventional lead-acid (WET) and Calcium Batteries. ●Built in regulator to prevent your battery from being overcharged. Overcharging occurs when the charge voltage is unregulated. This can result in premature battery failure.
● This charger is designed for indoor use only and should never be exposed to rain. ● Do not disassemble the controller. Take to a qualified person if the unit requires repairing. ● Lead acid batteries can be dangerous. Ensure no sparks or flames are present when working near batteries.
WIRING CONNECTIONS To protect the Battery and the Solar Panel, we strongly recommend that you place a 40A inline fuse on the positive wire on both the “Solar” and “Battery” Circuits. (As close to the Battery /Panel as possible) The Solar Controller has 4 terminals which are clearly marked ‘Solar’ and ‘Battery’. There is a (12V) and earth (GND) terminal for each circuit.
Press BATTERY TYPE button and hold for 3 seconds to go into your battery type selection mode, the battery type you select will be shown on the LCD meter, the default setting is AGM Battery; the controller will automatically memorize your battery type setting.

Soft Charge- When batteries suffer an over-discharge, the controller will softly ramps the battery voltage up to 10V. Bulk Charge-Maximum current charging until batteries rise to Absorption level Absorption Charge-Constant voltage charging and battery is over 85%. Equalization Charge*-Only for WET battery or Calcium battery type, when the battery is deeply drained below 10V, it will automatically run this stage to bring the internal cells as an equal states and fully complement the loss of capacity.(Gel and AGM battery do not run Equalization charge)
