CHARGING PROGRAMS

Settings are made by pressing the MODE-button. After about two seconds the charger 

activates the selected program. 

The table explains the different Charging Programs:

Explanation

Temp range

7–14Ah

Small battery program

 

14.4V/0.8A 

Use for smaller batteries.

-20°C–+50°C 

(-4ºF–122ºF)

14–120Ah

Normal battery program 

14.4V/3.6A 

Use for WET batteries, Ca/Ca, 

MF, GEL batteries and many 

AGM batteries.

+5°C–+50°C 

(41ºF–122ºF)

14–120Ah

Cold weather program

 

14.7V/3.6A 

Use for charging at low tempera-

tures and for power AGM batter-

ies like Optima and Odyssey. 

-20°C–+5°C 

(-4ºF–41ºF)

STEP 1 DESULPHATION

Detects sulphated batteries. Pulsing current and voltage, removes sulphate from the lead plates 

of the battery restoring the battery capacity.

STEP 2 BULK

Charging with maximum current until approximately 80% battery capacity. 

STEP 3 ABSORPTION

Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100% battery capacity.

STEP 4 PULSE

Maintaining the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage and 

gives a pulse when necessary to keep the battery fully charged.
