1 Introduction
The battery charger is designed to both recharge your batteries and extend your battery's life in applications where it is
stored for long periods of time. The charger is a multi-stage, completely automatic, lightweight, silent battery charger.
The charger produces an output of 12 Volts DC at a full 6 Amps, while using much less AC current than other charger
types. When the charger is attached to your battery and plugged into a 115 Volt / 60 Hz AC outlet, the red and green
LEDs let you know the unit is recharging and maintaining your batteries. Use this battery charger to charge lead acid
flooded, gel, or AGM type 12-volt batteries only. 24-volt battery charger kits include two 12-volt battery chargers.
