The AGM batteries are a variant
of Sealed VRLA (valve regulated
lead-acid) batteries. Popular uses
include high-performance engine
starting, power sports, deep-cycle,
solar and storage batteries.
• GEL – The electrolyte in a GEL
cell has a silica additive that
causes it to set up or stiffen. The
recharge voltages on this type of
cell are lower than those for other
11. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY
MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
CHARGING A BATTERY
IN THE VEHICLE
1. Turn off all the vehicle's
accessories.
2. Keep the hood open.
3. Clean the battery terminals.
4. Place the charger on a dry,
non-flammable surface.
5. Lay the AC/DC cables away
from any fan blades, belts,
pulleys and other moving
parts.
6. Connect the battery, following
the precautions listed in
sections 6 and 7.
7. Connect the charger to a live,
grounded 120V AC outlet.
8. Select the battery type and
charge rate.
9. Press the START button to
begin charging immediately. If
START button is not pressed
within thirty seconds after unit
was first powered up, and
the charger detects a battery
that is properly connected,
the charging process will
automatically begin and finish.
Unit will automatically use
the Boost rate for the first 10
minutes and then change to
the Charge rate, if selected.
10. When charging is complete,
indicated by Charged/
Maintaining LED lit, or if you
are done, press STOP button,
disconnect the charger from
styles of lead-acid battery. This is
probably the most sensitive cell
in terms of adverse reactions to
overvoltage charging. Gel batteries
are best used in VERY DEEP cycle
application and may last a bit longer
in hot weather applications. If the
wrong battery charger is used on a
gel cell battery, poor performance
and premature failure will result.
the AC power, disconnect the
clamp attached to vehicle's
chassis, and finally remove the
clamp from battery terminal.
CHARGING A BATTERY
OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE
1. Place battery in a well-
ventilated area.
2. Clean the battery terminals.
3. Connect the battery, following
the precautions listed in
sections 6 and 7.
4. Connect the charger to a live
grounded 120V AC outlet.
5. Select the battery type and
charge rate.
6. Press the START button to
begin charging immediately.
If START button is not pressed
within thirty seconds after unit
was first powered up, and
the charger detects a battery
that is properly connected,
the charging process will
automatically begin and finish.
Unit will automatically use
the Boost rate for the first 10
minutes and then change to
the Charge rate, if selected.
7. When charging is complete,
indicated by Charged/
Maintaining LED lit, or if you
are done, press STOP button,
disconnect the charger from
the AC power, disconnect the
negative clamp, and finally the
positive clamp.
8. A marine (boat) battery must
be removed and charged on
shore.
