- If you're unsure of your battery's Ah rating, you can find this information on the battery's specifications or contact the manufacturer.
Charge Rate Modes:
- 1A (Maintenance Mode): Suitable for lead-acid batteries between 3Ah and 20Ah and can maintain batteries up to 100Ah.
- 4A (Silent Charge Mode): Designed for lead-acid batteries ranging from 9Ah to 60Ah and can maintain batteries up to 110Ah.
- 6A (Rapid Charge Mode): Intended for lead-acid batteries between 18Ah and 120Ah and can maintain batteries up to 180Ah. The internal fan may engage occasionally if the charger gets hot during this mode.
Battery Charging vs. Battery Maintenance:
- Battery charging is used to recharge a flat or dead battery to full capacity.
- Battery maintenance (trickle charging) is employed to keep a battery topped up, especially during storage or infrequent use.
All OzCharge battery chargers, including the OC-PRO600, are capable of performing both functions, making them suitable for various scenarios. Understanding your specific needs will help you select the appropriate charge rate and mode.
