- Page 9 DCT Series Charger Manual BOOST This voltage is slightly higher than the float setting. Boost slightly overcharges the battery in order to ensure that all the cells of a battery are fully charged to the same voltage. Continued operation in boost is not recommended because the high charging voltage will cause battery electrolyte to boil away quickly.

- Page 11 DCT Series Charger Manual HIGH DC SHTDN Indicates that the charger has been shut down by the high output voltage shutdown circuit. Probable causes of a high DC shutdown are as follows: a) The float or boost voltages have been increased above the pre-set shutdown voltage.
- Page 12 DCT Series Charger Manual 4. Adjust the FLOAT pot until the desired voltage is achieved. Adjustment of the BOOST voltage is similar to adjustment of FLOAT, except that you adjust the BOOST pot instead of the FLOAT pot. Be sure that the charger front panel mode switch is in BOOST when you make adjustments.
