REV 14l

Read this material before using this product. Failure to do so can result in serious injury. SAVE THIS MANUAL.

Intended Applications

For use on fully charged lead-acid and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) type batteries only.

TO PREVENT BATTERY DAMAGE: Do not use on GEL batteries.

Note: Check battery voltage with a multimeter before use. The Battery MUST be fully charged to at least 12 Volts.

The Float Charger prevents self-discharge of the battery, while maintaining and extending the life of rechargeable 12 volt lead-acid batteries. It maintains a battery charge for batteries rated from 5 – 125 Ah (amp-hours), by providing a 13.2 VDC maximum output. Other types of chargers provide a strong, rapid charge but tend to boil out liquids and decay electrodes.

may result in EXPLOSION, electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
