CHARGING PROGRAM
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 SOFT START
Tests if the battery can accept charge. This step prevents
charging from proceeding on a defect battery.
STEP 3 BULK
Charging with maximum current until approximately 80% bat-
tery capacity.
STEP 4 ABSORPTION
Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100% bat-
tery capacity.
STEP 5 ANALYSE
Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that can not
hold charge may need to be replaced.
STEP 6 FLOAT
Maintaining the battery voltage at maximum level by provid-
ing a constant voltage charge.
STEP 7 PULSE
Maintaining the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger
monitors the battery voltage and gives a pulse when neces-
sary to keep the battery fully charged.
INFO: If the battery clamps are incorrectly connected, the
reverse polarity protection will ensure that the battery and
charger are not damaged.
READY TO USE
The table shows the estimated time for empty battery to 80%
charge.
