Sears 200.713101 owner manual Charge Type, Ammeter, AMP Engine Start, LED Indicator

Charge Type:

•Use the MANUAL setting only if you check the charging progress frequently. The charger will not stop charging when the battery reaches full charge, possibly damaging the battery it left on too long. You must monitor and unplug the charger when battery is fully charged.

•Use the AUTOMATIC DEEP CYCLE

setting for all deep cycle battery charging. The charger will automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full charge and begin charging again when battery requires.

•Use the AUTOMATIC REGULAR setting for all but deep cycle batteries. The charger will automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full charge and begin charging again when battery requires.

•A severely discharged battery may not have enough charge to start the control circuit in an automatic setting. In this case, charge on manual until the battery has enough charge to accept an automatic setting.

AMMETER:

The ammeter indicates the measured amount of amperes being drawn by the battery. When you first start charging a battery, the reading will be high, with the needle near 10 using the 10 amp charging rate.

•In the MANUAL setting, as the battery charges, the needle will fall to about 4 or 5 amps, indicating a charged battery.

In both AUTOMATIC settings, the needle will fall to zero and the charger will shut off when the charger's control circuit senses a full charge. A freshly charged battery's voltage will drop shortly after charging stops, and the charger, if left connected, may resume charging. This off-and-on cycling will continue until the battery's voltage no longer drops enough to restart the charger.

At the 2 amp charging rate you will notice very little needle movement.

When cranking the engine while using the ENGINE START feature, the needle will swing into the Start (red) area of the scale.

Charge Rate:

•Use the 2 AMP charge rate setting for charging small batteries and warming large battedes.The lower the charge rate, the longer it will take to charge the battery.

•Use the 10 AMP rate setting for automotive, deep cycle and other large battedes.

Use the 60 AMP ENGINE START setting only to assist in cranking the

engine.10 AM P

LED INDICATOR:

The green LED INDICATOR will glow when the charger senses that the

battery has reached a full charge.

•When using the MANUAL charge rate, discontinue charging when the

LED glows and the AMMETER

needle is about 4 to 5 amps in the 10 Amp setting.

•For deep cycle batteries, you may wish to allow the battery another one or two hours of charging after the LEO glows to obtain a maximum charge.
