Maintenance Instructions; Storage Instructions - Napa 85-435 Owner's Manual

Reserve Capacity (RC) is a very important rating. This is the number of
minutes a fully charged battery at 80°F will discharge 25 amps until the
battery drops below 10.5 volts.
An amp hour (AH) is a rating usually found on deep cycle batteries. If a
battery is rated at 100 amp hours it should deliver 5 amps for 20 hours, 20
amps for 5 hours, etc.
NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Find your battery's rating on the chart below, and note the charge time
given for each charger setting. The times given are for batteries with a
50% charge prior to recharging. Add more time for severely discharged
batteries.
