USING 6V NORM [PRESS & HOLD]
6V NORM charge mode is designed for 6-volt lead-acid
batteries only, like Wet Cell, Gel Cell, Enhanced Flooded,
Maintenance-Free and Calcium batteries. Consult the
battery manufacturer before using this mode.
USING 12V LITHIUM [PRESS & HOLD]
12V Lithium charge mode is designed for 12-volt lithi-
um-ion batteries only, including lithium iron phosphate.
CAUTION. USE THIS MODE WITH CARE. THIS MODE IS
FOR 12-VOLT LITHIUM BATTERIES ONLY. LITHIUM-ION
BATTERIES ARE MADE AND CONSTRUCTED IN DIFFERENT
WAYS AND SOME MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN A BATTERY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS). CONSULT THE LITHIUM
BATTERY MANUFACTURER BEFORE CHARGING AND ASK
FOR RECOMMENDED CHARGING RATES AND VOLTAGES.
SOME LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES MAY BE UNSTABLE AND
UNSUITABLE FOR CHARGING.
Explanation
USING 12V REPAIR [PRESS & HOLD]
12V Repair is an advanced battery recovery mode for
repairing and storing, old, idle, damaged, stratified or
sulfated batteries. Not all batteries can be recovered.
Batteries tend to become damaged if kept at a low
charge and/or never given the opportunity to receive
a full charge. The most common battery problems are
battery sulfation and stratification. Both battery sul-
fation and stratification will artificially raise the open
circuit voltage of the battery, causing the battery to
appear fully charged, while providing low capacity.
Use 12V Repair in attempt to reverse these problems.
For optimal results, take the 12-volt battery through a
full charge cycle, bringing the battery to full charge,
before using this mode. 12V Repair can take up to
four hours to complete the recovery process and will
return to Standby when completed.
CAUTION USE THIS MODE WITH CARE. THIS MODE
IS FOR 12-VOLT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ONLY. THIS
MODE USES A HIGH CHARGING VOLTAGE AND MAY
CAUSE SOME WATER LOSS IN WET (FLOODED)
CELL BATTERIES. BE ADVISED, SOME BATTERIES
AND ELECTRONICS MAY BE SENSITIVE TO HIGH
CHARGING VOLTAGES. TO MINIMIZE RISKS TO ELEC-
TRONICS, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE USING
THIS MODE.
CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY
Do not connect the AC power plug until all other con-
nections are made. Identify the correct polarity of the
battery terminals on the battery. The positive battery
terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol
(POS,P,+). The negative battery terminal is typically
marked by these letters or symbol (NEG,N,-). Do not
make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines,
or thin, sheet metal parts. The below instructions
are for a negative ground system (most common). If
your vehicle is a positive ground system (very uncom-
mon), follow the below instructions in reverse order.
