ABSORPTION (CONSTANT VOLTAGE)
The absorption stage charges the battery to 100% by adjusting the charge rate allowing
the battery to absorb more power.
EQUALISATION (CALCIUM MODE ONLY)
Designed especially for calcium batteries, this stage returns calcium batteries to full
service by removing acid stratification of the electrolyte.
ANALYSIS
The analysis mode tests the battery to ensure that it has taken the charge; if the
battery passes the test the charger will proceed to the float stage, but if the battery
fails the test, the charger will apply a recondition charge to try to return the battery
to full charge.
RECONDITION
If after charging, the battery is unable to hold the charge the battery reconditioning
function is initiated automatically. This is most likely to take place on batteries that
have been deeply discharged, prior to charging. The Recondition mode will then run
for 4 hours and at the end will retest the battery. The Intelli-Charge battery charger
will perform the recondition charge up to 3 times before switching the charging cycle
to Float with an error indication.
FLOAT
The Float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or
damaging the battery. This means the charger can be left connected to the battery
indefinitely.
