Using Your Battery Charger
For best results from your battery charger, learn to use it properly. This section tells how to set the controls and
how to charge a battery in and out of the vehicle.
Setting the controls
All the controls for your charger are located on the
front of the charger. Follow these instructions to obtain
the correct charge level for your battery.
SELECTOR SWITCHES
Two switches are used to select the type and rate of
charge.
• Use the right switch to select the 2-amp, the 10-
amp charge rate or the 50-amp Engine Start
feature.
• Use the left switch to select the type of battery:
conventional/low maintenance or maintenance
free/deep-cycle.
• Use the 2-amp setting to chCrge small batteries
and the 10-amp setting for larger batteries.
AMMETER
The ammeter indicates the measured amount of
amperes being drawn by the battery. When you first
start charging a battery, the reading will be high, with
the needle near 10 amps using the 10 amp charging
rate. As the battery charges, the needle will begin to
fall toward 0. When the battery is fully charged, the
needle will point to 0 and the FULL CHARGE green
LED will glow.
The percent of charge scale is intended as a visual aid
to simplify reading the state of charge of the battery.
The meter is scaled for use with the 10 amp charge
rate. For the 2 amp charge rate, use the red tdangle
as your reference. When charging for 2 amps, the
needle will begin close to the "R" on RATE and will
drop to 0 when finished.
The percent of charge is based on current drawn by
the battery. For this reason, accuracy will vary with the
size and battery type.
