10.1 Digital Display
The Digital Display gives a digital indication of voltage or % of charge,
depending on the Display Mode chosen.
10.2 Display Mode Button
Use this button to set the function of the digital display to one of the
following:
• Battery % - The digital display shows an estimated charge percentage
of the battery connected to the charger battery clips.
• Voltage – The digital display shows the voltage at the charger battery
clips in DC volts.
10.3 Charge Rate Button
Use this button to set the maximum charge rate.
• 2A Slow Charge Rate
as those commonly used in garden tractors, snow mobiles and motor-
cycles.
• 6A Medium Charge Rate
deep-cycle batteries. Not intended for industrial applications.
• 10A Fast Charge Rate
teries. Not intended for industrial applications.
10.4 Battery Type Button
Use this button to set the type of battery to be charged.
• Regular – This battery type is usually used in cars, trucks and motor-
cycles. 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 engines) 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
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 – 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. Actu-
ally, the AGM batteries are a variant of Sealed VRLA (valve regulated
lead acid) batteries. Popular uses include high performance engine
starting, power sports, deep cycle, solar and storage battery. AGM bat-
teries are typically good deep cycle batteries, and they deliver best life
performance if recharged before the battery drops below a 50 percent
charge. If these AGM batteries are completely discharged, the cycle life
will be around 300 cycles. This is true of most AGM batteries rated as
deep cycle batteries.
