ON/OFF - this prepares the charger to be placed in any of the operating modes. Pressing the ON/OFF button
immediately stops any operating mode and the display shows the circulating pattern (Figure 4B).
Alternator Voltage Check enables a five second check that measures the battery voltage. This check is repeated at
various electrical load levels and the tests allow the user to determine if the alternator can keep up with the loads. It
can indicate alternator service may be required.
Battery Recondition is an automatic mode that once started continues for 24 hours and then stops. A series of electrical
pulses are sent into the battery enabling the plate to once again accept and release energy so the battery will perform
at greater capacity.. More than 24 hours may be needed to restore. If 5 cycles does not improve battery performance,
discontinue and re-cycle the battery.
Periodic reconditioning is recommended to maintain a battery's optimum performance.
2/10/20A allows the user to select the charger rate based on battery size. This selection and the actual battery charge
rate are monitored by the microprocessor and the charger will stop charging if the rate is too fast or too slow for the
battery size or condition.
