Looking for manuals and/or advice on interpreting battery meters labeled QUAD-CYCLE (see attached photos). The labeling indicates they were made by Cruiser Electric (Seattle), but an Internet search did not reveal any matches for this device.
The boat is a Hershine Trawler built in Taiwan by Cheerman around 1985, but I do not know when the Quad-Cycles were installed. There are 3 battery banks (cranking, house, and generater-cranking) and all are sealed batteries. There are also 3 multi-step battery chargers.
The Quad-Cycle units have a keyed switch that can turn the voltage regulator into a "Condition" mode. The display indicates each bank's voltage, amperage, and amp-hours used since last charge.
I am not familiar with this equipment and no one locally seems to know when to activate the battery conditioning mode (if ever). Any help would be appreciated, especially any manuals that can be found. Many thanks...
