charging tips

Read this entire manual before using your charger. The tips below serve only as a guide for specific situations.

Reviving your battery: If you only wish to charge your battery enough to start your vehicle, you do not need to wait for the entire charging process to be com- pleted. When the battery status displays 3 yellow LEDs the battery has usually been charged enough for the vehicle to start normally.

Completing an interrupted charge: If the charging process has been inter- rupted and restarted after the charger displays a battery status of 4 yellow LEDs, the charger may enter Maintain Mode (see previous page). However, if the original charge was started using 6A, the charge can often be completed using the 2A rate.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years.

1.Clean the clamps each time you are finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid that may have come in contact with the clamps to prevent corrosion.

2.Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. This will help pre- vent accidental damage to the cords and charger.

3.Occasional cleaning of the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.

4.Store the battery charger in a clean and dry location.
