1. INTRODUCING THE CHARGER
The Guest model 2608A, 2610A and 2611A are designed to both recharge your batteries,
and extend your battery’s life in applications where it is stored for long periods of time.
They are “3-stage” electronic, completely automatic, lightweight, silent, battery chargers
and each output produces 12 Volts DC at either a full 5 or 6 Amps (model specific), while
using much less AC current than other charger types. Unlike automotive “trickle” chargers,
the 2608A, 2610A and 2611A will not boil off the electrolytes in properly installed and
maintained batteries. When the charger is attached to your batteries and plugged into
a standard 115 Volt / 60 Hz AC outlet, the red and green LED’s let you know the unit is
recharging and maintaining your batteries.
