DIGITAL DISPLAY
The Digital Display gives a digital indication of voltage, amperage, and battery %. It always starts in Voltage
mode, but can be switched to a different mode by pressing the Display button as shown below:
Boost mode: Voltage > OFF > Amperage...
Charge/Maintain mode: Voltage > OFF > Battery Percentage > Amperage...
Engine Start mode: Voltage (No Amperes or Battery Percentage Mode) If the process is stopped on any
mode (by pressing the START/STOP button), the display will show "OFF".
NOTE: When in Charge/Maintain mode, the display will automatically go into sleep mode (shut-off) after 2
minutes. To turn the display back on, press any push-button.
DISPLAY 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's battery clamps, when charging.
Amps – The display shows the output current, in amps.
Voltage – The Digital Display shows the voltage at the charger battery clamps, in DC volts, while idling.
The auto detection voltage, 6 or 12, will be displayed while boosting/charging.
START/STOP BUTTON
Use this button to start or stop the charging or boosting process, after the battery is properly connected
and an output or rate has been selected.
RATE SELECTION BUTTON
When in Boost or Charge/Maintain mode, use this button to select one of the following rates:
Boost – For quickly adding energy to a severely discharged or large capacity battery.
6<>2A Charge/Maintain – For charging small and large batteries. Not recommended for industrial
applications.
When in Engine Start mode, use this button to select one of the following rates:
12V Engine Start – Provides engine start capabilities for 12V battery systems.
6V Engine Start – Provides engine start capabilities for 6V battery systems.
LED INDICATORS
LEDs light to indicate the following:
Battery % – The Digital Display shows the percentage of the battery.
Amps – The Digital Display shows the output current, in Amps.
Voltage – The Digital Display shows the battery voltage.
Charge/Maintain – The charger is in 6<>2A Charge/Maintain mode.
Boost – The charger is in Boost mode.
12V Engine Start – The charger is in the 12V Engine Start mode.
6V Engine Start – The charger is in the 6V Engine Start mode.
Boosting/Charging – The charger has detected that a battery is connected, and is performing the
selected operation.
Charged/Maintaining – The battery is fully charged and the charger is in maintain mode.
Reversed Clamps – The connections are reversed.
NOTE: See Operating Instructions for a complete description of the charger modes.
BATTERY TYPE BUTTON
Use this button to select the type of battery.
STD – Used in cars, trucks and motorcycles, 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 has a greater plate count. The plates are thinner and have somewhat different
material composition. Standard batteries should not be used for deep-cycle applications.
AGM – The Absorbed Glass Mat 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. 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 batteries.
