THE STATUS SCREEN
NOTE: Tap any icon to bring up more information.
A. Charge Indicator Ring – The color of this ring and the amount of the circle that is filled indicates the charge level. A completely green
ring indicates the battery is fully charged. This corresponds to the percentage displayed in the center.
B. Charge Time – The amount of time needed to charge the battery when it was first connected.
C. Charge Pause Switch – Tap the sliding switch to start or pause the charging process. The current status is shown above the switch.
You can pause the charge while watching the voltage drop to see if there is a power draw from the battery. The charging process will
not be reset unless the charger is unplugged and plugged in again. NOTE: This charger is also a maintainer and it is not necessary to
stop the charging process; the charger will automatically switch to maintenance mode when the battery is fully charged.
D.
Connected to a wireless network – When the icon is green, this indicates the charger is connected to a wireless network. When
the charger is not connected to a wireless network, the icon turns gray. Tap the
E. Connected to AC – When green, this indicates the charger is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet. If the charger is unplugged
from the AC, the charger will power itself off of the battery for five minutes, sending out a loss of power signal to the app. When no
AC power is detected, the icon turns gray.
F. Connected to Battery – When green, indicates that the battery is properly connected to the charger. When clamps are
reversed or not connected, the icon turns gray.
G. Battery Voltage – Shows battery voltage. This voltage varies throughout the charging cycle, but gives an indication of the health of
the battery. If the value goes below 12.5V during Float or Maintain modes, this could indicate excessive draw on the battery by the
vehicle or the battery approaching the end of its life.
H. Charge Amps – Shows the current the charger is putting into the battery.
I. Charger Temperature – Shows the charger's temperature status. The charger will automatically lower the charge current if it detects
the temperature is higher than normal.
Use the icon to return to the HOME screen.

CHARGING MODE

Charging mode lets you follow the progress through the 8 stages of charging:
1. Auto Voltage Detection – In this mode, a battery is connected to the charger and the charger is determining whether it is
a 6V or 12V battery.
2. Desulfation – The charger has detected an unhealthy, sulfated battery and has begun a special process to try to remove
the sulfation and possibly restore the battery.
3. Soft Start – The charger has determined the battery voltage and gently starts to charge the battery by slowly increasing
the charging current.
4. Bulk Mode – The majority of the energy delivered to the battery is done in this mode. When the charger exits this mode, the
battery will be at approximately 80% recharged.
5. Absorption Mode – This mode finishes the charge of the battery by holding the battery voltage constant until the current tapers off.
6. Monitoring Mode – The battery is allowed to rest for 24 hours before checking for a loss of charge.
7. Float Mode – The charger is replacing energy the battery has lost through self-discharge or idle draw of the attached vehicle.
8. Maintain – The charger checks the battery every 12 hours and puts the charger into float mode to replenish lost energy from the battery.
