Harbor Freight Tools 69594 Owner's Manual

Intended Applications

Use this product only to maintain the charge of a ooded lead-acid battery.

TO PREVENT BATTERY DAMAGE:
Do not use on gel lead-acid or AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) type 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.
