This charger has it all with 6- and 12-Volt capabilities, 2- or 4-Amp charge rates. The BikeMaster® Intelligent Charger/Maintainer is ideal for charging/maintaining conventional acid batteries, factory-activated, maintenance-free batteries, absorbed glass mat maintenance-free batteries (AGM) and gel batteries. This fully automatic battery charger detects 6- or 12-Volt, reverse polarity, overcharge and short circuit protection in addition to testing if the battery is good or needs replacing. It has easy-to-read LED lights that indicate power on, 6- or 12-Volt selection, 2-Amp or 4-Amp charge rates and the status of the battery charge.
- Color-coded alligator clip leads and color-coded quick disconnect battery terminals
- 6-Volt mode has a bulk charge rate of 2-Amps; 12-Volt mode has a selectable charge rate of 2-Amps and 4-Amps
- A float charge of 1.5-Amps is used for absorption: a constant high current for extended periods of time can damage a battery; to rectify this issue, constant 1.5-Amps low charging current is given until the battery is fully charged (13.6-Volts)
- The charger monitors the battery voltage: if a 12-Volt battery voltage falls below 12.8-Volts (6-Volt battery falls below 6.2-Volts) the charger automatically restarts the charging cycle; the maintenance charging cycle is
