Charger operation with temp comp bypass dongle:
Proper battery charging is best achieved by the use of the temperature
compensation cable. If this is not feasible then the temperature compensation
dongle can be used.
If the charger is used with the Temp Comp Cable Bypass Dongle, the charger will
lock in to a hot setting for the charge voltages per the table. The bypass dongle
may significantly reduce charger effectiveness at low temperatures and will not sense
an overheated battery, and may not avoid a hazardous condition.

Load Management:
Incoming AC power is shared between the AC loads and the charger. The AC
loads are given priority; this means the charger will reduce its output with large AC
loads. This feature controls the total amperage draw of the system so the utility
service circuit breaker is not tripped. The Load Management feature will return the
charger to full output when the AC loads are removed or reduced.
Dead battery charging:
The charger will operate anytime the AC line is within the valid range. There is no
minimum battery voltage required for the charger to start.
