that ensures fast, safe and complete charging of serviceable batteries.

Stage One — Rapid Start Charge at 25 amps delivers maximum charging amperage to “wake up” any serviceable 12 volt battery and allows for quick engine starting. When battery reaches a maximum safe predetermined voltage, the charger will automatically signal a "beep" and move into Stage 2 of the charging process.

Stage Two — Absorption Charge maintains the maximum possible charge at a constant, safe, predetermined voltage. During this phase, the charging voltage remains constant, while the actual charging current is reduced

Stage Three — Top-Off Charge voltage is automatically maintained and reduced to a predetermined level while current is adjusted for a safe, effective battery charge. At the end of Stage 3, the unit will BEEP signaling the completion of the charging cycle.

The Automatic Float Charge feature is ideal

for maintaining a battery. It automatically tops off battery as needed, keeping it fully charged all the time.
