Charging method A
STEP 1 - BOOST CHARGE
To start a charge cycle; connect the charger to the mains.
The charger is in constant current mode, charging with the maximum current indicated
on the charger, the LED-indication on the charger is ORANGE. This step allows rapid charging
of your battery until the battery reaches typically 80 - 95% of its capacity.
STEP 2 – TOP-UP CHARGE
The charger is in constant voltage mode, charging with a decreasing current until the current
is below the chargers charge termination level (indicated on the charger).
The LED-indication on the charger is ORANGE. The battery is charged to its full
capacity at the end of this step
STEP 3 – FLOAT CHARGE
The LED-indication on the charger is GREEN and the battery is fully charged.
The charger is in standby mode. The charge voltage is at standby level and the charger may
remain connected to the battery.
The charger will return to boost charging if the battery is used.
A load larger than the cut-off current will initiate a new charge cycle.
