3-Stage Charging
First Stage - Bulk Charge: Delivers maximum charging amperage to "wake up" any serviceable 6 or
12 volt battery. When battery reaches a maximum safe predetermined voltage, the charger will
automatically move into Stage 2 of the charging process.
Second Stage – Absorption: Maintains the maximum possible charge at a constant, safe,
predetermined voltage. During this phase, the charging voltage remains constant, while the actual
charging current is reduced to allow for the maximum proper internal chemical energy transfer. At the
end of Stage 2, the charger will automatically move into Stage 3 charge mode.
Third Stage - Float Charge: Voltage is automatically maintained and reduced to a predetermined
level while current is adjusted for a safe, effective battery charge.
Automatic - Float Charge: Ideal for maintaining a battery. It automatically tops off the battery as
needed, to keep battery fully charged at all times.
Maintenance
Always unplug and disconnect the charger before performing maintenance on the unit. After each
use, use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean any battery corrosion or dirt from the clips, cords, and charger.
Ensure that all components are in good working order. Never open the charger as there are no
serviceable parts inside the unit. The charger should be stored in an upright position when not in use.
Store in a cool, dry location.

Error Code
Cause
Solution
F01
Dead battery.
Get a technician’s help to check the
battery.
An appliance is drawing power from the
battery being charged.
Disconnect the appliance and try to
charge again.
Charging rate is too low relative to size of
the battery.
Choose a higher charger rate or use a
higher current charger.
F02
Charger voltage is too high relative to
battery.
Verify the battery voltage and select the
correct charging voltage.
F03
Charger error, charge current is higher
than selected.
Get a technician’s help to check the
charger.
