STD
Used in cars, trucks, and motorcycles, these batteries
have vent caps and are often marked "low maintenance"
or "maintenance-free". This type of battery is designed
to deliver quick bursts of energy (such as starting
engines) and has a greater plate count. The plates are
thinner and have different material composition.
Standard batteries should not be used for deep-cycle
applications.
TYT8116—UN—24MAY18
ABSORBED GLASS MAT
The Absorbed Glass Mat construction allows the
electrolyte to be suspended near the active material of
the plates. In theory, this enhances both the discharge
and recharge efciency. The AGM batteries are a variant
of Sealed VRLA (valve regulated lead-acid) batteries.
Control Panel
15-2
Popular uses include high-performance engine starting,
power sports, deep-cycle, solar, and storage batteries.
TYT8115—UN—24MAY18
GEL
The electrolyte in a GEL cell has a silica additive that
causes it to set up or stiffen. The recharge voltages on
this type of cell are lower than those for other styles of
the lead-acid battery. This is probably the most sensitive
cell in terms of adverse reactions to the over voltage
charging. Gel batteries are best used in VERY deep-
cycle application and may last a bit longer in hot-
weather applications. If the wrong battery charger is
used on a gel cell battery, poor performance and
premature failure results.

jump-start your car. Follow all safety instructions and
precautions for charging your battery. Wear complete
eye protection and protective clothing.
CAUTION: Using the ENGINE START feature
WITHOUT a battery installed in the vehicle
damages the vehicles electrical system.
NOTE: During cold weather, or if the battery is under 2
volts, boost the battery for 5 minutes before starting
the engine.
NOTE: If you have charged the battery and it still will not
start your car, do not use the Engine Start feature,
or it damages the vehicles electrical system. Have
the battery checked.
1. Set the switch to the OFF position.
2. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet,
connect the charger to the battery following the
instructions given in the

TYT8119—UN—24MAY18
CHARGED/MAINTAINING (green) LED
When the CHARGED/MAINTAINING (green) LED is lit,
the charger has started maintain mode. In this mode, the
charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a
small current when necessary. If the charger has to
provide its maximum maintain current for a continuous
12-hour period, it goes into the abort mode (see Aborted
Charge in this section). This is caused by a drain on the
battery or the battery could be bad. Make sure that there
are no loads on the battery. If there are, remove them. If
there is none, have the battery checked or replaced.
Operation

Maintaining A Battery
The FR01335 charges and maintains 6 and 12 volt
batteries, keeping them at a full charge.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology allows you to
safely charge and maintain a healthy battery for
extended periods of time. However, problems with
the battery, electrical problems in the vehicle,
improper connections, or other unanticipated
conditions could cause excessive current draws. As
such, occasionally monitoring your battery and the
charging process is required.
Fan Operation
It is normal for the fan to be on for a while after Engine
Start operation to allow the charger to cool down. To
allow the fan to operate efciently, keep the area near
the charger clear of obstructions.
