Calculating charge times The Chart Method • Marine, or deep-cycle batteries are usually rated in Reserve Capacity (RC). • NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENDED. Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to bring a battery to full charge. First, identify where your battery fits into the chart. • Small batteries — motorcycles, garden tractors, etc. — are usually rated in Ampere Hours (AH). For example: 6, 12, 32 AH etc.
Using the engine start feature Your battery charger can be used to jump-start your car if the battery is low. Follow these instructions when using the ENGINE START feature. 1. Set the POWER switch to the OFF position. Then follow the instructions for connecting the charger to the battery and power source in the section “Charging a battery in the vehicle.” 2. Set the BATTERY switch to 6V or 12V to match the battery’s voltage. 3. Set the POWER switch to the ON position.
