Questions:

  1. Should I switch it off when the green ready light comes on, to save electricity and to avoid over charging my battery?
     
  2. Your competitor will sell me a 12 Volt, 10 Amp battery charger for a lower price than your unit. Why should I pay more than I have to?
     
  3. What’s the difference between a DC power supply and a battery charger?
     
  4. I want a charger that switches to standby when the current drops below a certain level. Do you make a charger that does that?
     
  5. I can’t get any output from my charger when I measure it using a DC Voltmeter so do I need to send it back for repair?
     
  6. In your spec you claim something called "mains zero crossing voltage monitoring". What is that and why would I want that?
     
  7. What is the override timer and what is it's purpose, why is this feature included in all your battery chargers?
     
  8. What is parasitic loading and why is it important to check this specification in some battery applications?
     
  9. My battery isn't getting fully charged, I’m not getting the run time on load that I was expecting. Why is that?
     
  10. My battery is getting over charged, it’s not switching to standby soon enough, or the green LED doesn’t stay on?
     
  11. Can I run a DC load from the battery while it is charging?
     
  12. How should I connect one battery charger to charge more than one battery?
     
  13. How does one check and adjust the Voltage settings of my battery charger?
     
  14. How does one check and adjust the Current Limit setting of my battery charger?
     
  15. What is the Battery Type DIP Switch for, how should it be set?
     
  16. How long will my battery support my load, how can I calculate the expected runtime?
     
  17. How long will it take for a certain current rating charger to fully recharge a given size battery?
     
  18. What’s the difference between a Sealed Lead Acid battery, a Gel Cell Battery, an Absorbed Electrolyte Battery, a Valve Regulated Battery, and why does it matter?
