) Button
This is the start and stop button for all modes.
Digital Display
The Digital Display gives a digital indication of voltage, amperes or time,
depending on the DISPLAY function chosen.
Display Button
Use this button to set the function of the digital display to one of the follow-
ing:
VOLTS (Voltmeter) •
The voltmeter indicates the voltage at the battery terminals. If the reading
is less than 10.5-volts, the battery may be bad or the connection at the
charger may be poor. If the reading is 10.5 volts to 12.7 volts the bat-
tery is low – recharge it. If the reading is 12.8 volts or more the battery is
charged.
AMPS (Ammeter)
•
The Ammeter indicates the amount of current, measured in amps, that is
being drawn by the battery ( 2 amps). For example, in a 20 amp charge
rate, a typical discharged battery will initially draw approximately 20
amps. As the battery continues to charge, the current will taper down. At
full charge, the battery may draw less than one amp.
NOTE: The 70 amp charge rate cycles between 20 amps and 70 amps
during the charging process and the ammeter will show this. This is a
normal condition.
