Auto Mode Charging Sequence

Auto Mode charging should be the most commonly used charging method, as this method most fully utilizes
the advanced technology of the charger and delivers the most beneficial charge to the battery.
First, connect the charger to the vehicle (see previous section, Connecting to Batteries...).
Once a proper connection has been made, plug the unit into an AC outlet and turn the master Power Switch to
the ON position. Press the Function Selection button until the LED corresponding to "AUTO CHARGE" is lit.
Once you have chosen "AUTO CHARGE" Function Selection, the charger will enter Auto Charge Mode. Upon
entering this mode, the display will read as follows:
AUTO CHARGE
Voltage:
Battery:
Rate:
To select a different battery voltage, type or current, press the TOGGLE button until
value arrow flashes. Press SELECT button to find the correct selection. Press
TOGGLE again to set another value. Press TOGGLE again to exit settings.
AUTO CHARGE

Rate:
Once the desired value for each parameter is set, push START to begin charging. The display will switch from
set-up view to charge status view and reflect specific details of the charging progress: Operating Voltage,
Battery Type, Nominal Charge Rate, Actual Battery Voltage, Actual Charging Current (Ammeter), Battery % of
Charge and Charging Mode. An example is shown below:

70% CHARGING
Observe the display for any warnings. You should see the displayed battery voltage rise, plus changes in the
charging current and an increase in the battery % of charge over time.
When charging is complete, the CHARGED LED will light. The display will show the battery voltage and signal
that the charger has entered MAINTENANCE MODE.
