Float Charging

When the charger is in the Float mode, the screen shows
“Float Charging” and the Charge LED quickly flashes. At
this point the batteries are fully charged (100%) and the Batt.
Full LED is on solid.

Equalizing Charging

To activate the Equalize mode, press and hold the Settings
button (right arrow) until the screen clears and “Equalizing”
appears (approximately 6 seconds). The Charge LED will
increase its flashing rate to approximately 8 flashes per
second (flickering). The Equalize charge will continue for 3
hours and then automatically change back to Float.

To cancel Equalize mode, press and hold the Settings button
for approximately 6 seconds. If Equalization is cancelled, the
screen will indicate the System Status as Absorption chg for
approximately 30 seconds before returning to Float charging.
