10.1DIGITAL DISPLAY BUTTON

Use this button to set the function of the digital display to one of the follow- ing:

BATTERY %: The digital display shows an estimate of the percent of charge of the battery connected to the charger battery clamps.

VOLTAGE: The digital display shows the voltage at the charger battery clamps in DC volts.

10.2BATTERY TYPE BUTTON

Use this button to set the type of battery to be charged to one of the fol- lowing:

Regular – Set button to STANDARD. This battery type is usually used in cars, trucks and motorcycles. These batteries have vent caps and are often marked “Low Maintenance” or “Maintenance-free”. This type of battery is designed to deliver quick bursts of energy (such as starting en- gines) and have a greater plate count. The plates will also be thinner and have somewhat different material composition. Regular batteries should not be used for deep cycle applications

Deep-Cycle– Set button to STANDARD. Deep-cycle batteries are usu- ally marked as “Deep-Cycle” or “Marine”. Deep-cycle batteries are usually larger than the other types. This type of battery has less instant energy but somewhat greater long-term energy delivery than regular batteries. Deep cycle batteries have thicker plates and can survive a number of discharge cycles.

AGM – Set button to STANDARD. The Absorbed Glass Matt construction allows the electrolyte to be suspended in close proximity with the plate’s active material. In theory, this enhances both the discharge and recharge efficiency. Actually, the AGM batteries are a variant of Sealed VRLA bat- teries. Popular usage high performance engine starting, power sports, deep cycle, solar and storage battery. AGM batteries are typically good
