More on the charger ...The brand is ACCUMATE. >> The advance "IUoU-I" (marine quality) interactive 3 stagecharging program ensures a highly effective and complete charge. This is achieved as follows: 1) A 1.2 amp effective charge current is maintained throughout the main charging stage for maximum charging efficiency and minimum charge time for both 12 volt and 6 volt batteries 2) The charging voltage is precisely monitored and when the voltage has risen to 14.3 volts it is then held at this level until the current has fallen to 200mA, to ensure a full charge 3) The charging program now switches over to "float charge" stage at a voltage limit of 13.6 volt for correct long term maintenance of batteries while out of service Should the current drawn by the battery during maintenance "float charge" stage exceed (for any reason) 200mA, the charging program automatically reverts to the constant current charge stage until the battery is again fully charged, therefore providing a stand by function. 100% automatic apart from the initial 6 or 12 volt selection >> Advertising of course.
