This battery charger has a built-in battery tester that displays either an accurate battery voItage or an estimate of the battery's relative charge based on the battery voItage and the Battery Council International scale.

This battery charger has a built-in alternator tester that dispIays either an accurate alternator voltage or an estimate of the alternator's relative output compared to normal alternators. The Alternator % • The CHARGED (green) LED will light if the output of the charging system is at the normally desired level.
This charger adjusts the charging time in order to charge the battery completeIy, efficiently and safeIy. The microprocessor automatically makes the necessary decisions. However, this section incIudes guideIines that can be used to estimate charging times. There are some important facts to keep in mind when charging a battery. When the display indicates 77% charged, the battery has been charged enough to start most vehicIes and has already been charged as much as by many other battery chargers.
Read this entire manual before using your charger. The tips below serve only as a guide for specific situations. If your vehicle won't start: You don't need to fully charge a battery to star[ your vehicle. If the charger won't start your vehicle using the 125A START rate, try charging the battery using the 40A rate for 10 or 15 minutes.
