Charge cycles:

The charge cycles of new battery chargers have been specially developed to optimise charging of all 
commercially available batteries. The variety of technologies employed in batteries available today in retail 
demand different charging characteristics to ensure correct and complete charging. JMP Skan chargers 
guarantee the right charge cycle for every type of battery, thus extending the life of your batteries. 

1. First diagnostic step: “Diagnostic I”  
    (initial diagnosis) 

The charger analyses the battery charge level and 
the voltage with which it should be charged. 

2. First charging step: “Repair Mode”  
    (desulfation)

Charging with pulse current until the battery achieves 
the optimum voltage and current values to com-
mence the second charging step. 

3. Second charging step: “Initial Charge”  
    (battery activation) 

Charging with reduced, constant current. 

4. Third charging step: “Bulk Charge” 
    (charge with constant current) 

Charging with constant current until maximum 
battery voltage is achieved. 

5. Fourth charging step: “Absorption Charge” 
    (charge with constant voltage)

Charging with stabilised voltage until current 
reaches minimum values. 

6. Second diagnostic step: “Diagnostic II” 
    (second diagnosis) 

The charger checks the status of the charged 
battery. 

7. Sixth charging step: “Float Mode” 
    (trickle charging with constant voltage) 

Trickle charging with constant, reduced voltage.

8. Seventh charging step: “Trickle Mode” 
    (trickle charging with pulse current)

Trickle charging with pulse current (constantly 
available).

Safety precautions:

JMP Skan chargers are equipped with protective features that ensure maximum safety during operation 

and use of the device.
