•BATTERY %: The digital LED displays an estimate of the percent of charge of the battery connected to the SpeedCharge battery clamps.

•VOLTAGE: The digital LED displays the voltage at the SpeedCharge battery clamps in DC volts.

•ALTERNATOR %: The digital LED displays an estimate of the output of the vehicle charging system con- nected to the SpeedCharge battery clamps as compared to a properly functioning system.

CHARGE RATE SWITCH

Use this switch button to set the charge rate to one of the following three.

•2A CHARGE RATE: Intended for charging small batteries such as those commonly used in garden tractors, snow mobiles and motor- cycles. The 2A rate is not intended to be used as a trickle charger for larger batteries.

•30A￿￿10A CHARGE RATE: Use for charging automotive batteries, marine batteries, and deep cycle batteries. Not intended for industrial applications.

•60A START: Provides 60 amps for cranking an engine with a weak or

Use this switch button to set the type of battery to be charged to one of the following three.

•DEEP CYCLE: Deep cycle batteries are usually marked as “deep cycle” or “marine”. Deep cycle batteries are usually larger than the other types.

•AGM, GEL CELL: AGM and gel cell batteries have sealed cases without vent caps. Such batteries are often smaller than the other types.

•REGULAR: This is the type of battery usually used in cars, trucks, and motorcycles. These batteries have vent caps and are often marked “low maintenance” or “maintenance-free”.

With the exception of AGM and gel cell batteries, all other battery types may or may not have vent caps. Vent caps are located on top of the battery and provide a means to add distilled water when needed. Batteries should be marked with their type. If charging a battery that is not marked, check the manual of the item that uses the battery. If the battery type is unknown, use the REGULAR setting. Make sure the battery complies with the safety instructions on page 3.
