The Power Behind the E-Button!
The Yuasa 1 Amp Automatic Charger (YUA1P2AMPCH) is much, much more than just a battery charger. It utilizes a five-cycle program to test the battery, determine what level of charging it needs, bring the battery to full charge, and then keep it there without overcharging. You can connect it to your battery and then disconnect it after charging, or you can connect it and leave it indefinitely. If left attached for 28 days or more, the elusive 5th cycle kicks in and starts the charging process all over again to exercise the battery to keep it fresh. I've only seen this occur a few times, however, since I'm constantly moving the charger around to maintain five motorcycle batteries. To prevent sulfation (it's bad for the battery) I try to avoid letting a battery sit idle for more than 14 days without taking its turn at the charger.

The Yuasa 1 Amp Automatic Charger is very complex in what it does, but very easy for us to use. Here's the routine you must follow: Step 1 - Plug it in and connect it to your battery.
Were you expecting more? Sorry, but that's all there is to it! Oh wait...I guess you'll want to disconnect it before you go riding. My mistake. It's a complex two-step operation after all! Want more details? Okay. Then read the instructions printed right on top of the unit. Plug it into a wall outlet, connect it to your battery, and watch the three little lights.
