TO CHARGE BATTERIES
Make the connections to the battery per the instructions in the previous sections.
Determine if the battery is 6 or 12 volts and then set the CHARGE VOLTAGE switch to 6/12 LOW CHARGE for a 6 or 12 volt battery. If
higher rate is desired, set at 12 MED. or 12 HIGH. DO NOT
charge a 6 volt battery at setting other than 6/12 low.(Damage may occur to

If your battery has sat in the discharged state for an extended period of time, it can become SULFATED. This usually is seen as a white
deposit near the top of the battery. The sulfate is formed when a battery with low water levels remains discharged for an extended time.
Sulfated batteries exhibit the characteristic of accepting no charge regardless of the rate of charge.
The charging method is two staged. The first stage of attempting to break down the sulfation to allow the battery to accept a charge must
be closely watched to avoid excessive charge rates as the battery begins to charge and overheating. The second stage is a slow
