BATTERY TYPE SWITCH
Use this switch button to set the type of
battery to be charged to one of the
following three.
DEEP CYCLE: Deep cycle batteries

are usually marked as “deep cycle” or
“marine”. Deep cycle batteries are
usually larger than the other types.

AGM, GEL CELL: AGM and gel cell

batteries have sealed cases without
vent caps. Such batteries are often
smaller than the other types.

REGULAR: This is the type of battery

usually used in cars, trucks, and
motorcycles. These batteries have
vent caps and are often marked “low
maintenance” or “maintenance-free”.

With the exception of AGM and gel cell
batteries, all other battery types may or
may not have vent caps.

Vent caps are

located on top of the battery and provide
a means to add distilled water when
needed

. Batteries should be marked

with their type. If charging a battery that
is not marked, check the manual of the
item that uses the battery. If the battery
type is unknown, use the REGULAR
setting. Make sure the battery complies
with the safety instructions on page 3.
