    Note: it does not matter what position the meter switch is in. It is for viewing and not operating. Equalization: when using multiple batteries in a series string, cells become uneven during charge and discharge cycles. At least once a month perform two charge cycles back to back, this will give a c...

    Do not use this charger on a two pole ungrounded outlet or attempt to break off the ground prong for use on a receptacle or extension cord not having a ground. If an extension cord must be used, make sure it is in good condition. Use a three conductor cord no smaller than the size being used on the ...

    With wet cell batteries, maintain the proper electrolyte level by adding water when necessary. Never allow the electrolyte level to fall below the top of the battery plates. Electrolyte levels fall during discharge and rise during charging. Therefore, to prevent the overflow of electrolyte when char...

    The battery voltage reads well below the rating of the battery, and when powered up the led is red with a yellow flash, and the amps are less than 5. The battery is very low, and the charger is in a slow charge phase until the voltage rises to a safe level before full turn on. Leave connected, it ma...

    After a full charge the led is green with a yellow flash the batteries did not reach 80% charge in 12 hours, or did not reach minimum voltage, and the charger timed out. The charger is too small for the batteries. Batteries are beginning to age. Sometimes running a second cycle will achieve full cha...
