Voltage Selector Switch
This charger has a voltage selector switch on the front of it. Match the charging
voltage (6 or 12 volts) to the voltage of the battery being charged.
Circuit Breaker
This charger is equipped with an internal self-resetting circuit breaker. The
breaker protects the charger from temporary overloads. In the event of an
overload, the breaker will trip open and after a short cooling off period, will
reset automatically. This process is known as cycling and can be recognized
by an audible clicking sound. If the circuit breaker is cycling, see the
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
