Napa Essentials 85-303 manual Multiple Battery Charging, Charger Features and Controls

10.5CAUTION - Do not leave Manual chargers unattended.

10.6CAUTION: If at any time the battery gets hot (above 125°F (52°C)) or acid comes out of vent caps, STOP charging.

10.7To maximize battery life - Let automatic chargers complete charging.

11.MULTIPLE BATTERY CHARGING

Batteries of the same voltage may be connected in parallel for maintenance charging. Charge time increases in proportion to the number of batteries. Rate of charge decreases in the same proportion.

Example: Charging 2 batteries in parallel will take 2 times longer; each battery receives 1/2 the amount of charge showing on the ammeter. Thus, if the ammeter shows a 30-amp charge, each battery will get a 15-amp charge (when batteries have the same rating, same state of charge, etc.).

12.CHARGER FEATURES AND CONTROLS

12.1The 85-303 does not have an ON/OFF switch. The On and Off commands are controlled by plugging the 85-303 into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet only after battery connections have been made.
