Charging Mode
The product has fifteen charging modes: Standby, Charging (6V AGM, 12V AGM, 24V AGM, 12V Lithium, 24V Lithium, 12V LiFePO4, 24V LiFePO4), Maintain (6V AGM, 12V AGM, 24V AGM), Desulfation (6V AGM, 12V AGM) and Supply Mode (6V AGM, 12V AGM, 24V AGM). When Supply mode is selected, you can charge by selecting different currents with different voltages. Please select battery types after opening the switch. These modes are advanced charging modes that require your full attention before selecting. It is important to understand the differences and purpose of each charging mode. Do not operate the charger until you confirm the appropriate charging mode for your battery. Below is a brief description(Peak voltage measured at 25℃ and rated amperage is bulk amperage when above 0℃.):
Standby Mode
In Standby mode, the charger does not charge or provide any power to the battery and energy save is activated, drawing microscopic power from the electrical outlet. CAN bus is enabled. When in Standby, the LCD will illuminate.

If this mode is selected, please contact the battery supplier, otherwise,it could be dangerous. This mode can't be memorized. After being put off, the charger will back to the state of non-professional.
Starting Charging at 0V
In Maintain, Desulfation and Force modes, the charger activates 0V charging when it detects the connected battery is nearly at 0V, and delivers continuous pulse charging to the battery. If the battery voltage fails to rise to 1V within one hour, the charger will identify a battery anomaly and stop charging. If the voltage rises above 1V within one hour, the charger will proceed automatically into the selected working mode.
Connecting to the Battery
Do not connect the AC power plug until all other connections are made. Identify the correct polarity of terminals on the battery. Do not make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin, sheet metal parts. The below instructions are for a negative ground system (most common). If your vehicle is a positive ground system (very uncommon), follow the below instructions in reverse order.
- Connect the positive (red) eyelet terminal connector to the positive (POS, P, +) battery terminal.
- Connect the negative (black) eyelet terminal connector to the negative (NEG, N, -) battery terminal.
- Connect the battery charger into a suitable electrical outlet. Do not face the battery when making this connection.
- When disconnecting, disconnect it in the reverse order. Remove the negative first (or positive first for positive ground systems).
Begin Charging
- Verify the voltage and chemistry of the battery.
- Confirm that you have connected the battery clamps or eyelet terminal connectors properly and the AC power plug is plugged into an electrical outlet.
- [First time use] The charger will begin in Standby Mode, and Pause indicator is on.
- Firstly, press the Battery Type button to select batteries. Secondly, press Voltage button, then press Current button.
- After pressing the Start button, the button will light blue, then the battery will be detected. If the battery level is normal,no battery indicator will disappear and the charger will work normally, otherwise the opposite.
- The charger can be connected to the battery at all times to provide maintenance charging.
Auto-Memory
The charger has built-in auto-memory and will return to the last charging mode when connected. Select suitable mode and press Start button, then the charger will save new working mode.
CAUTION: Professional mode does not apply to auto-memory.
