STEP 5 – SET CHARGE RATE
The charge rate should be set according to the size of the battery. See the recommended
charge rates for various battery sizes in the table below.
(Not all ouputs are available on all models)
a. Press the CHARGE RATE button. The LCD screen will flash the present setting.
b. Press the CHARGE RATE button repeatedly until desired setting is displayed.
c. Wait for the LCD screen to stop flashing.
Note: Failure to wait for the screen to stop flashing will cause the charge rate to default
to previous setting.

STEP 6 – SET BATTERY CHEMISTRY TYPE
Battery Chemistry should be selected by the type of battery being charged (refer to the
battery manufacturer’s specifications for battery type). Refer to page 5 for a detailed
explanation.
For example, if you are charging an AGM battery, then AGM mode will need to be
selected. This can be done by the following procedure:
a. Press the BATTERY TYPE button. The LCD screen will flash the present setting.
b. Press the BATTERY TYPE button repeatedly until desired setting is displayed.
c. Wait for the LCD screen to stop flashing.
Note: Failure to wait for the screen to stop flashing will cause the charge rate to default
to previous setting.
