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.

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.
