that ensures fast, safe and complete charging of serviceable batteries.
S
tage One —
Rapid Start Charge at 25 amps delivers maximum charging amperage to “wake up” any serviceable
12 volt battery and allows for quick engine starting. When battery reaches a maximum safe predetermined voltage,
the charger will automatically signal a "beep" and move into Stage 2 of the charging process.
Stage Two —
Absorption Charge maintains the maximum possible charge at a constant, safe, predetermined
voltage. During this phase, the charging voltage remains constant, while the actual charging current is reduced
to allow for the maximum proper internal
chemical energy transfer. At the end of
Stage 2, the charger will automatically
move into Stage 3 charge mode.
Stage Three —
Top-Off Charge voltage is
automatically maintained and reduced to a
predetermined level while current is adjusted
for a safe, effective battery charge. At the end
of Stage 3, the unit will BEEP signaling the
completion of the charging cycle.
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.
