The charge time is approximate and will depend on the type
of battery and discharge state. Always follow the battery
manufacturer's specific charging instructions.
„ Test the battery for state of charge with a hydrometer or
electric percent-of-charge tester.
OPERATION
„ Determine the size of the battery in Amp Hour (Ah)
or Reserve Capacity. If the ratings are not printed on
the battery, contact your local battery dealer for this
information before charging.
NOTE: These are the only ratings that can be used to
determine the charge time.
„ Use the battery rating, the charge level of the battery,
and the amp setting to be used on the charger in the
following formula:
Amp Hour Rating of Battery
x Percent of Charge Needed
Amp Setting Selected on
the battery maintainer
„ If the battery is rated in Reserve Capacity, use the
following formula to convert reserve capacity to Amp
Hours (Ah):
Reserve Capacity
VOLTAGE SELECTOR BUTTON
