Battery Absorb
14. 3 Vol ts
When the absorb screen appears, use the up/down arrow to adjust absorb voltage. Consult your
battery manufacturer for their recommended settings. There is no such thing as one setting that fits
all flooded or AGM etc. batteries. Different manufacturers have different requirements. Differences
may be subtle, but The KID is capable of very fine adjustment. There is no reason to guess as to
these important settings. When done, hit the right arrow key to go to the Float settings screen.

Default is 1 5.0 volts. A Gel or AGM style battery may be damaged by higher voltages,
Refer to the battery manufacturer's instructions.
Flooded batteries require periodic Equalizing to reduce sulfation. Consult your battery
manufacturer's specifications for a correct EQ setting. If your type of battery does not
want to ever be EQ’d, then simply set the EQ voltage to the Absorb voltage.
When done, hit the right arrow key to bring you to the Input Function screen.
