FEATURES

Patented Pulse Technology increases the duty and life cycles of all 12 volt batteries by up to five times

The unique application of patented PULSE conditioning provided by

Pulsetech ® Products increases performance and life cycles of any size or type of 12V lead-acid battery by minimizing the size of damaging lead sulfate crystals

Xtreme Charge ® evaluates the battery during initial connection and tests it continually to determine the appropriate charge rate based on your battery’s current capacity and condition. This TEST step also includes a “Bad

Battery” indication if it determines the battery is faulty and cannot be recharged.

A proprietary microprocessor controlled integrated charging process measures both voltage and current and applies only the amount of charge your battery is able to accept at any given time. As the patented pulse technology is applied in combination with the saturation charge the battery’s condition improves. This proprietary process inhibits and removes sulfation, protects your battery from overcharging and extends its operating life.

The XC100-P is also designed to be a MAINTENANCE charger for any type of 12V lead-acid battery. Through application of our proprietary charge algorithims and high frequency pulsing processes, your battery is maintained safely at its proper operating voltage indefinitely. If the charger is connected to a discharged battery, its BULK charge capability (2.5 A actual/5 A effective) will re-charge the battery rapidly and safely so it can be put back into service quickly.

USE GUIDE

Do not operate without first reading the Important Safety Instructions.

Connect red battery clip to positive (+) battery post. Then connect black battery clip to negative (-) battery post.

Once you’ve connected the battery cables properly, you can begin the charging process. Plug Xtreme Charge ® into 110-220 VAC power source.

TEST

Green “On” light illuminates, indicating charger is receiving proper ac input. If it’s connected to battery correctly, red “Test” LED lights, indicating unit is testing battery’s condition.

FAULT CONDITIONS

If red “No Connection” light illuminates, charger is not connected to battery, or inline fuse on positive battery lead needs to be replaced.

Should all the lights flash on and off and an audible warning buzzer be heard, battery clamps are connected in reverse. Refer to Safety Instructions booklet for detailed procedures to make sure leads are connected properly.

If red “Bad Battery” LED lights, Xtreme Charge ® is connected to a 6V battery or a 12V battery that is below 7 volts.

CHARGING CONDITIONS

Once charger has evaluated battery’s current condition, “Test” light goes off. The appropriate charge profile begins automatically.

Green “Charging” light indicates Xtreme Charge ® is providing bulk charge to battery.

Three green “Pulsing” LEDs light sequentially as charger conditions battery. Patented Pulse

Technology enables it to accept and maintain its maximum charge.

During “Test” cycle, charger determines battery’s state of charge and illuminates the appropriate light:

“25%,” “50%,” “75%” or “100%.”

After battery is charged fully, green “100%” light illuminates, and “Charging” light goes off. This indicates charger is providing float charge to battery.

It may now be placed into service or left on the

Xtreme Charge ® indefinitely to maintain peak condition.

If battery has been pulsing and charging for 24 hours continuously without reaching 100% state of charge, unit discontinues charging. Red “Bad

Battery” light illuminates, indicating the battery is non-rechargeable.

PULSE TECHNOLOGY

The unique application of patented PULSE conditioning provided by

Pulsetech ® Products increases performance and life cycles of any size or type of 12V lead-acid battery by minimizing the size of damaging lead sulfate crystals. This allows your battery to accept more power than other chargers can provide. Our patented PULSE technology is NOT “Pulse

Charging” which is commonly used in the market place today. It IS a totally unique 1-2 punch provided by the independent application of our unique high frequency conditioning pulse on one circuit and proprietary charging algorithms on another. This helps ensure that your new batteries will stay in like-new condition while your older batteries often improve dramatically.
