Solar Battery Charger Owner's Manual page 7

MODEL 1050C
This charger will taper its charge as the battery
approaches full charge. Refer to Section L, Time to
Charge to determine how long to charge your battery.
Step 1: Make Connections
Make sure AC power cord is unplugged from wall outlet.
Make proper connections to the battery as explained in
sections F through H.
Step 2: Select Setting
Select the 55 AMP START
position if you are attempting
to start a car with a weak
battery (12V only). Plug the
AC power cord into the wall
outlet.
Note: For best results, charge the battery first for 10–20
minutes using the 10 A 12 V position before
attempting to start the vehicle in the 55 AMP
START position.
Engage the starter for 3–4 seconds; if engine fails to start,
charge the battery using the 10 A 12 V position for another
10–20 minutes and attempt to start the engine again. Be
aware that a typical starter on a vehicle may need
250–500 amps to start the engine.
Select the 10 A 12 V position if you are charging large
lead acid batteries, such as those used in automobiles,
boats, trucks, vans, farm equipment, etc. Plug the AC
power cord into the wall outlet. The meter will read up to
15 amps and taper down to 6 or 7 as the battery reaches
full charge. When the battery is fully charged you must
shut off the charger within 2 hours or overcharging will
occur.
Select the 2 A 12 V position for charging lawn tractor,
motorcycle, snowmobile or other small batteries. Plug the
AC power cord into the wall outlet. The meter will read up
to 5 amps and taper down to around 1 amp as the battery
reaches full charge.
Select the 10 A 6 V position for charging 6 volt batteries
used in automobiles, trucks and farm equipment. This
setting does not taper and also does not shut off
automatically.
Note: Do not use this battery charger to charge batteries
larger than those typically found in boats,
passenger cars, or light trucks.
MODEL 1060C
This charger is equipped with Auto On-Off Technology.
After connecting to a 12 volt battery, the charger needs to
sense a minimum voltage condition to begin charging and
it will stop charging when it reaches the maximum voltage
condition, but it will continue to monitor the battery charge
level. The charger will "hum" as it monitors. If the battery
charge level drops, the charger will begin charging again.
Note: If the charger does not sense a minimum voltage
condition because of a deeply discharged battery,
then preactivation of the battery is required. The
meter will read zero or near zero.

battery reaches full charge. When the battery is fully
charged the CHARGE COMPLETE light will come on, the
meter will drop to 0 amps and the charger will
automatically stop charging.
Select the 2 A 12 V AUTO position for charging lawn
tractor, motorcycle, snowmobile, or other small batteries.
Plug the ac power cord into the wall outlet. The meter will
read up to 5 amps and taper down to around 1 amp as the
battery reaches full charge. Using this setting for large
automotive, truck, or marine batteries will not allow the
charger to shut off automatically.
Select the 10 A 6 V position for charging 6 volt batteries
used in automobiles, trucks, and farm equipment. Plug the
ac power cord into the wall outlet. This setting does not
taper and does not shut off automatically.
