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
12.CHARGER FEATURES AND CONTROLS
12.1OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once the unit has been properly connected to the battery(ies), plug in the charger to AC power. Initially all 4 LEDs on both charging banks will turn on in sequence. The battery charger will perform a self test and light the two yellow LEDs in sequence next. The charger will then go into a battery diagnostic mode to determine if the battery(ies) are independent or connected in series (24V) or parallel (12V). NOTE: It is important to not operate any electrical devices on the boat during the first 30 seconds after plugging in the charger while it is diagnosing the battery(ies). Once the diagnostics are complete, the charger will begin charging the battery(ies) if needed. Each bank has an independent display of LEDs and will show the charge status of the battery. NOTE: When both output leads are
