11.4 ABORTED CHARGE: If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging is aborted, the charger’s output is shut off. The CONNECTED LED will be lit and the display will read BAD BAT. In this case, the charger ignores all buttons. To reset after an aborted charge, press the START/STOP button to turn the charger off. 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.

12.2 TESTING SEQUENCE: There are three basic steps required to test the battery state of charge: 1. Connect the battery charger’s clips to the battery. Be sure to follow all of the precautions listed under sections 6 and 7. 2. Connect the charger’s power cord to a 120 VAC outlet. Again, be sure to follow all of the precautions listed under sections 6 and 7. 3. Read the voltage on the digital meter or press the DISPLAY MODE button to set the tester to BATTERY % and read the battery percent- a

13.5 The battery % shown in tester mode is an estimate based on the battery voltage and a scale set by the Battery Council International. The battery % shown in charger mode is an estimate of the relative charge in the battery compared to the charge it should have if the charging process is allowed to complete. 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 % s
