The maintenance charge activates automatically once all connected batteries reach full charge.
Recovery charge requires holding the recovery switch for longer than five seconds, indicated by the STANDBY and CHARGING indicators flashing alternately.
Recovery charge is designed for over-discharged nickel-cadmium batteries that the charger identifies as faulty.
Recovery charge can restore battery capacity when fast charging leaves a battery unable to reach full charge indicators.

The specific behavior of recovery charge was tested on an AR301 charger with a 28.8V battery, so results may vary with other PAG models.
The user's AR304 unit does not appear to have a visible selector switch for the maintenance charge feature despite the manual indicating it should exist.
Experience reported is anecdotal rather than systematic testing across multiple units or battery conditions.
