10.2.  PAUSE PUSH BUTTON 
 
This  PAUSE push button will halt the charge cycle. The battery can then be safely 
unplugged for up to 10 minutes.  If the battery is still connected after this time, the 
charger will continue with the present charge cycle. 
 
10.3 SMART 
START 
 
If the time to gassing voltage, (2.40 VPC), is less than 30 minutes, the normal charge 
profile will terminate and the unit will charge at constant voltage (2.35VPC) until 22% 
of the maximum current is reached.  The charger will then proceed to the auto-
balance stage. 
 
10.4 AUTO 
BALANCE 
 
The charger maintains a constant current level of 22% of maximum output that is 
activated by voltage, on at 2.20VPC and off at 2.40VPC with a time limit of 1 hour if 
2.40VPC is not reached.  
 
When current is flowing, amps will be displayed and the yellow LED will be 
illuminated. When no current is flowing, the display will show ‘StSt’. The FUNCTION 
button can select charge information. The green LED will remain illuminated. 
 
10.5 EQUALIZE 
STAGE 
 
Equalize charge consists of 12 hours at 22% of maximum output.
