6. Set Battery Type to STANDARD, AGM,
or GEL. (If unsure, consult the label on
the battery or the battery manufacturer.)
7. Set Output Rate to
Fast Charge (15A) or
8. Charging will start when the START/
STOP button is pressed and finish
automatically.
9. Charged/Maintaining
will light when finished and charger will
maintain battery.
10. To stop the battery maintaining process,
press the START/STOP button.
11. When charging is complete,
disconnect the charger from the AC
power, disconnect the negative clamp,
and finally the positive clamp.
12. A marine (boat) battery must be
removed and charged on shore.

Times are based on a 50% discharged battery
and may change, depending on age and condition
of battery.
DESULFATION
If the battery is left discharged for an
extended period of time, it could become
sulfated and not accept a normal charge.
If the charger detects a sulfated battery,
the charger will switch to a special mode
of operation designed for such batteries
(6V/12V only). If successful, normal
charging will resume after the battery is
desulfated. Desulfation could take up to
10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging will
abort and the display will show the error
message F02.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off, and
the display will show an error code. Do
not continue attempting to charge this
battery. Check the battery and replace, if
necessary.

This means that the charger has stopped
charging and has switched to the Maintain
Mode of operation. NOTE: If the charger
has to provide its maximum maintain
current for a continuous 12 hour period,
it will go into Abort Mode (see Aborted
Charge section). This is usually caused by
a drain on the battery, or the battery could
be bad. Make sure there are no loads on
the battery. If there are, remove them. If
there are none, have the battery checked
or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The charger maintains 6V and 12V
batteries, keeping them at full charge.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology
allows you to safely charge and maintain
a healthy battery for extended periods
of time. However, problems with the
battery, electrical problems in the
vehicle, improper connections or other
unanticipated conditions could cause
excessive current draws. As such,
occasionally monitoring your battery and
the charging process is required.
USING BOOST MODE
1. Set Battery Voltage to 6V, 12V or 24V.
CAUTION:
Always visually confirm the voltage of the
battery being charged. Not doing so can
cause damage to the battery and vehicle's
electrical system. Other property damage
or personal injury may occur.
NOTE: Additional safety settings have
been added to the charger software.
When the unit is in the 24 volt mode, the
voltage boost output will not activate if
battery voltage is less than 15.5 volts. If
a 24 volt battery has voltage below 15.5
volts, the voltage will be shown on the
digital display and the "Volts" and "24V"
LEDs will flash.The START/STOP button
must be pressed again after confirmation
that the unit is operating on a 24V system.
2. Set Battery Type to STANDARD, AGM,
or GEL. (If unsure, consult the label on
the battery or the battery manufacturer.)
3. Set Output Rate to
NOTE: This mode should not be used
for smaller batteries (lawn tractor,
motorcycle, etc.).
4. Boost will start when the START/STOP
button is pressed and will hold batteries
at the following voltages:
6V: held at 6.8V
12V: held at 13.6V
24V: held at 27.3V
5. Boost will end when the START/STOP
button is pressed.
