The Automatic Float Charge feature is ideal for maintaining a battery. It automatically tops off battery as needed, keeping
it fully charged all the time.
• This unit has three charge rate settings, accessed by the 2/6/10 AMP button:
a) 2 amps: smaller batteries, as in lawn mowers, snowmobiles, motorcycles, etc.
b) 6 amps: mid-sized batteries, as in small cars
c) 10 amps: automobiles and light trucks
• Automatic float charge monitoring
• Microprocessor controlled for proper operation and fault detection.
• Large, lighted digital display shows charging current, codes that indicate faults, modes of operation and time-out of
functions
• High-frequency, switch-mode operation for pure DC output
• Rapid charging three stage output
• Heavy-duty cables and clamps
• Rugged case, plus sturdy carry handle
• Self-storage of cables and clamps
• Ideal during winter season when vehicle's starting performance is reduced by cold or extreme weather conditions
• Single beep tone indicates a button is pressed or a mode change occurs
• Alternator check can determine if alternator output is within a typical voltage range
