Adjust parameters according to "CHARGING" (6–9).
Press START/STOP button to start the selected program.
The table explains the different Charging Programs:
Program
Battery Size
(Ah)
Explanation Temp range
NORMAL
20–1200Ah
Use for GEL, WET and MF batteries.
(-4ºF–+122ºF)
AGM
20–1200Ah
Use for most AGM batteries. Some AGM should use lower voltage
(NORMAL Mode), check battery manual if unsure.
(-4ºF–+122ºF)
Ca/Ca
20–1200Ah
Use for Ca/Ca batteries. Use Ca/Ca program to maximize charge with
minimum loss of fluid. Including RECOND step. Recond your battery once
per year and after deep discharge to maximise lifetime and capacity.
(-4ºF–+122ºF)
BOOST
20–1200Ah
Used for recovery of stratified batteries.
(-4ºF–+122ºF)
SUPPLY
20–1200Ah
Use as power supply or use for float maintenance charging when 100%
capacity of the battery is required. SUPPLY program activates step 7 without
time or voltage limitation.
(-4ºF–+122ºF)
WARNING!
Risk of short circuiting the battery cables. Connect charger cables
to the charger before connecting the battery
WARNING!
Risk of electrical shock if touching positive and negative terminals

check with the manufacturer if uncertain. The main recommendations are
that Gel batteries should be charged in the lower current range, Power
AGM’s in the upper range and most other battery types in the mid-range.

*) Back current drain is the current that drains the battery if the charger is not connected
to the mains. CTEK chargers have a very low back current.
**) The quality of the charging voltage and charging current is very important. A high
current ripple heats up the battery which has an aging effect on the positive electrode.
High voltage ripple could harm other equipment that is connected to the battery. CTEK
battery chargers produce very clean voltage and current with low ripple.
