deep cycle batteries and they deliver best life performance if recharged before the battery drops below the 50 percent discharge rate. If these AGM batteries are discharged to a rate of 100 percent the cycle life will be 300 plus cycles and this is true of most AGM batteries rated as deep cycle batteries. • GEL – Set button to GEL CELL. The Gel Cell is similar to the AGM style because the electrolyte is suspended, but different because technically the AGM battery is still considered to be

11.5 DESULFATION MODE: If a battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, it could become sulfated and not accept a normal charge. The CHARGING LED will blink when the special desulfation mode is ac- tivated. When blinking, the charger has switched to the Desulfation Mode of operation. If successful, normal charging will resume after the battery is desulfated. The CHARGING LED will then stop blinking and light continu- ously. Desulfation could take up to 10 hours. If desulfation

13.6 The battery % shown in tester mode can be used to estimate the relative charge time. The lower the % shown, the longer the charge time for a given battery. 13.7 The battery % shown in charger mode is an indication of the relative prog- ress of the charging process. The higher the battery % displayed, the less charge time remains. 13.8 The more a battery is discharged, the faster it absorbs a charge from the charger. That means that the battery % increases faster at the beginning of the
