OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 12.
Automatic Voltage Detection
When the charger is connected to a battery, it will automatically determine
whether the connected battery is a 6 Volt battery or a 12 Volt battery. This

The charger adjusts the maximum charge voltage and maximum maintain
voltage based on the ambient air temperature. This permits optimum charging
and safety.

getting too hot. This is a safety precaution.
