The Powerpack smart charge is based upon an advanced 
software program that monitors your battery. Smart charge will 
select from the following auto charge cycles to optimise your 
battery’s performance.

The auto charge cycles are as follows:

Charge

Recovers a flat battery to a peak voltage. Charges the battery 
until it reaches 12.5V.
If reaches 12.5V will proceed to bulk. 
If fails to reach 12.5V after a period of 125 hours. 
Will proceed to conditioning.
Conditioning indicator will flash 5 secs on 2 secs off, 
this indicates that your battery is very weak or may have a 
faulty cell. You can decided to repeat charge cycle by pulling 
out and replacing the power adaptor       or check  battery 
with your supplier.         

Bulk

Tops up battery for extra capacity. Raises battery 
voltage to 13.8V. 
If reaches 13.8V will proceed to boosting. 
If fails to reach 13.8V after a period of 125 hours of charging 
time, will move to conditioning.

Boosting

Peak charge for maximum performance battery charge is 
maintained at 13.8V for 5 hours to boost the battery then 
proceeds to rest.
