Associated Equipment 6065

This charger is designed to charge all types of 12 volt automotive batteries. The voltmeter scale is color coded to represent the three

most common types of batteries.

The GREEN scale represents the proper voltages for CONVENTIONAL batteries.

The BLUE scale represents the proper charging voltages for RECOMBINATION batteries and LOW MAINTENANCE batteries. The

YELLOW scale represents the proper charging voltage for MAINTENANCE FREE batteries.

The RED scale areas indicate the charging voltage is too high and should be turned down, If not turned down, over charging can

occur to the batteries.

A CONVENTIONAL battery is one that has accessible filler caps and the plates are lead-antimony construction. A RECOMBINATION

battery is one that has no filler caps and no free electrolyte.

A LOW MAINTENANCE battery is one that has filler caps and the plates are a combination of lead-antimony and lead-calcium. A

MAINTENANCE FREE battery may or may not have filler caps and the plates are lead-calcium.

If more than one type of battery is charged at one time, use the lowest suggested settings.

To charge batteries overnight: Adjust charging voltage to 3/4-1 volt less than the recommended highest voltage. Do not exceed 30

amps. As the batteries charge, the charging current will decrease and the charging voltage increase. The “end of charge” voltage

should not exceed the maximum suggested value.

The charging voltage bands are intended to be guidelines to enable the operator to have a starting point to charge batteries. The age

of the batteries, temperature, and type of batteries will affect the charging cycle. The best setting for your charging conditions will

have to be determined by experience.

Discontinue charging when specific gravity reading does not change in 3 consecutive readings, battery is freely gassing or when the

electrolyte reaches 120˚F. If your battery is sealed and these determinations cannot be made, see manufacturers instructions for

charging.

If you elect to order parts from the factory you may do so by mail or phone. Minimum order from the factory is $25.00. Orders received

that are under the minimum will not be processed. Taxes and freight are extra and are not considered to be part of the dollar value of

the order. We do not have a COD. policy. Cashier check, money order, Master Card or Visa are acceptable. If you use a Master Card

or Visa Card send only the number and expiration. Do not send the card.
