Battery Charger will run under the
charging current selected until the
charging voltage is raised up to 7.2
volts for a 6 volt battery or up to 14.4
volts for a 12 volt battery. The Bat-
tery Charger will then turn to the next
charging stage under constant volt-
age.
If “AUTO” is selected, the Battery
Charger starts charging from 2 Amps
until the charging voltage is raised up
to 7.2V volts for a 6 volt battery (mo-
torcycle) or up to 14.4V volts for a 12
volt battery (automobile). The Battery
Charger then turns to the next charg-
ing stage (float charging).
Constant voltage stage: The Battery
2.
Charger outputs a constant charging
voltage of 7.2 volts for a 6 volt battery
or 14.4 volts for a 12 volt battery. The
charging current gradually decreases
until it is less than 1 Amp and turns to
the next floating charging stage.
Floating charging stage: The battery
3.
is fully charged and ready to use.
The LCD Display shows the battery
signal which indicates the battery is
fully charged. The Battery Charger
outputs a constant safe voltage of 6.8
volts for a 6 volt battery or 13.6 volts
for a 12 volt battery for floating charg-
ing.
