When the CHARGED
In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a small
current when necessary. If the battery voltage drops below a preset level, the
charger will go back into Charge Mode until the battery voltage returns to the full
charge level, at which point the charger will return to Maintain Mode.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology utilized in Schumacher's maintainers
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
voltage draws. As such, occasionally monitoring your battery and the charging
process is recommended.

goes into Charge Mode. This cycle will continue, and the CHARGED
