• Regular (Standard) – This battery type is usually used in cars, trucks and motorcycles. These batteries have vent caps and are often marked “Low Maintenance” or “Maintenance-free”. This type of battery is de- signed to deliver quick bursts of energy (such as starting engines) and have a greater plate count. The plates will also be thinner and have somewhat different material composition. Regular batteries should not be used for deep cycle applications. • Deep-Cycle – Deep-cycle batteries

11.3 BATTERy PERCENT AND CHARGE TIME: This charger adjusts the charging time in order to charge the battery completely, efficiently and safely. The microprocessor automatically performs the necessary functions. This section includes guidelines that can be used to estimate charging times. The duration of the charging process depends on three factors: • Battery State – If a battery has only been slightly discharged, it can be charged in less than a few hours. The same battery could take up

11.4 AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE: When a charge rate is selected, the charger is set to perform an automatic charge. When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain mode (see below) automatically after the battery is charged. 11.5 ABORTED CHARGE If charging can not be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts, the charger’s output is shut off and the CONNECTED (red) LED will blink. In that state, the charger ignores all buttons. To reset after

• If your vehicle won’t start – It is not necessary to fully charge your battery to start a vehicle. If operating the vehicle continuously for an extended period of time (such as a long drive) the vehicle’s charging system should charge the battery during that period. If the vehicle will only be operating for a short period of time (short drive) the battery might need to recharge before starting the vehicle again. • Reviving your battery – It is not necessary to fully charge your battery
