SMART BATTERY CHARGER
The charger portion of the system is microprocessor-based and has three charge rate set-
tings, controlled by one switch. (See Figure 1).
1. Stage One- Rapid Start Charge
- delivers maximum charging amperage to “wake
up” any serviceable 12 volt battery. When battery reaches a maximum safe prede-
termined voltage, the charger will automatically move into Stage 2 of the charging
process.
2. Stage Two- Absorption Charge
maintains the maximum possible charge at a con-
stant, safe, predetermined voltage. During the phase, voltage absorption regula-
tion charge, the charging voltage remains constant, while the actual charging cur-
rent is reduced to allow for the maximum proper internal chemical energy transfer.
3. Stage Three- T
op-Off Charge voltage is automatically maintained and reduced to
a predetermined level while current is adjusted for a safe, effective 100% battery
charge (step-down regulation mode). This is ideal for topping off batteries that have
been in storage.

BATTERY STATUS DISPLAY
To check the battery status press the PUSH button ‘For Battery Low Level Battery Status’.
1. If all 4 indicators light (1 green light and 3 red lights) the battery is fully charged.
2. If 3 red indicators light, the battery is useable.
3. If 2 red indicators light, the battery is 1/2 discharged. Recharging is
recommended.
4. If 1 red indicator lights, the battery needs a full recharge.
