Cobra Battery Charger 2A - Operation Overview; Charging Modes Explained

Operation Overview
Charging Modes
The Cobra Battery Charger 2A has multiple charging modes designed to handle a wide range of
battery types and voltages. Always check with the battery manufacturer to verify your battery’s
specications and conrm the right charge mode required for your specic battery. Do not operate
the charger until you have conrmed the correct charge mode required for your battery.
When charging has nished and the battery charger is removed from the battery, the next time it is
connected to a battery it will return to the charging mode that was last used.
Mode Overview
Standby When in standby mode, the unit is on but not actively charging your battery.
You will see the standby power indicatorilluminated orange until you
connect your battery charger, select a charging mode and begin to charge
your battery. At that point, the power indicator will turn off and the main LED
status light will begin to blink orange indicating that charging has started.
12V This mode is for charging standard 12V lead acid batteries (Wet Cell, Gel
Cell, Enhanced Flooded and Maintenance Free batteries)
12V AGM This mode is for charging 12-Volt AGM batteries
12V Lithium This mode is for charging 12-Volt Lithium-ion batteries, including lithium iron
phosphate.
6V This mode is for charging standard 6V lead acid batteries (Wet Cell, Gel Cell,
Enhanced Flooded and Maintenance Free batteries). Press and hold for two
(2) seconds in order to enter 6V charging mode.
Low Voltage Mode Low Voltage mode is intended for charging batteries whose voltage has
dropped too low to be detected normally. If the battery charger has been
unable to detect your battery voltage due to it being too low, press and
hold for six (6) seconds in order to enter Low Voltage Mode. At this point
all modes will ash. Select your desired charging mode and the LED
status light will begin to ash between green and red indicating that Low
Voltage Mode charging has begun. Low Voltage Mode will charge for ve
(5) minutes, after which the battery charger will return to normal charging
operation.*
*Caution: Using Low Voltage Mode bypasses certain safety functions of the battery charger. Check that all connections have been
made prior to entering Low Voltage Mode and do not touch the end connectors together once Low Voltage Mode has been activated.
Risk of sparks, re, explosion, property damage, injury and death can occur if not operated properly.
