Item 63161 Specifications Input 120VAC, 60Hz, 0.25A Rated Output 12VDC / 0.75A Maximum Output 13.2 VDC Battery Capacity 5 – 125 Ah Cable Length 12 ft. Fuse 7.5A Blade-type 3125044 Operation Instructions Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product. Note: This Float Charger is intended only to keep a fully charged battery from losing its charge. It will not work to charge a battery that is discharged or damaged. TO PREVENT BATTERY DAMAGE: Do not use on gel lead-acid type batteries. Note: Check battery voltage with a multimeter before use. The Battery MUST be fully charged to at least 12 Volts. The Float Charger prevents self-discharge of the battery, while maintaining the life of rechargeable 12 volt lead-acid batteries. It maintains a battery charge for batteries rated from 5 – 125 Ah (amp-hours), by providing a 13.2 VDC maximum output. Other types of chargers provide a strong, rapid charge but tend to boil out liquids and decay electrodes. Item 63161 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
