- Allows the user to select Wet, Gel or AGM type of battery for efficient and safe charge. Most
automotive batteries are Wet batteries. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s specifications for battery type.
Charge Rate Selector (Step 2) - Allows the user to select the charger rate based on battery size. This selection and the
actual battery charge rate are monitored by the microprocessor and the charger will stop charging if the rate is too fast or too slow
for the battery size or condition.

amp charge mode, set the 2/10/25 amps button to 25 amps first to activate this button.
Desulfate- Is an automatic mode that once started continues for 24 hours and then stops. A series of electrical pulses breaks
the crystalline form of lead sulfate to return these chemicals into useful battery electrolyte. More than 24 hours may be need-
ed to restore. If 5 cycles does not improve battery performance, discontinue and re-cycle the battery.
Periodic reconditioning of a battery is recommended to maintain a battery’s optimum performance
