During the cycle, the charger carries out several diagnoses using
its internal algorithms. The first, upon connecting the clamps,
can detect if a battery is in too poor a condition to be charged
(short-circuit, etc.); the next, during the charging phase at 1 hour
and 4 hours. This is why a battery can be declared poor, even after
charging has begun.
In the case of a sulfated battery (generation of lead sulfate
when charged for too long or too intensely, which reduces
capacity and battery life), the charger may display the
“good battery” icon although it is no longer able to accept
additional charge, due to modification of its internal
structure. If in doubt, use the recovery mode while leaving
the charger connected for several hours.
DIAGNOSTICS ////////
In the case of a sulfated battery or a battery in poor condition,
the 512EVO may attempt to recover it. The clamps should be
connected and the charger left to carry out its cycles for several
hours.
How do I know if recovery is working?
The charging current (on the right of the screen) increases, showing
that desulfation has started and that the battery has begun to store
current again.
The user may start the vehicle engine, even if the charger is in use.
The charger will detect that the vehicle has started and it will stop
charging, displaying the associated icon on the screen. It will then
recommence charging when the engine is switched off again.
