1. DESULPHATION

Rejuvenates sulphated
batteries with a high
frequency pulse.

2. SOFT START

Increases battery life
by gently starting to
charge the battery. 

3. BULK CHARGE

Reduces charging 
time by delivering
maximum charge to 
set voltage.

4. ABSORPTION

Ensures a full 
charge to the 
battery without
overcharging.

EQUALISATION

(Calcium mode only)

Returns a full
hydrometer reading 
to calcium batteries
by removing acid
stratification.

5. ANALYSIS

Tests the battery to
ensure fully charged.

6. RECONDITION

Restores battery 
health to deeply 
discharged batteries 
by equalising
the cells.

7. FLOAT

Float charge 
maintains the 
battery at 100%
charge.

FEATURES

7-STAGE AUTOMATIC CHARGING (GEL, AGM, WET & CALCIUM)

Intelli-Charge incorporates the latest technology to deliver a 7-stage charge suitable for 
automotive, calcium, marine and all types of deep cycle batteries (Gel and AGM). These 
stages of charging ensure maximum battery life and performance are delivered with a 
faster charging time and ensure a complete charge is achieved.
The 7 charge stages are:
Desulphation; Soft Start; Bulk; Absorption; Analysis; Recondition and Float.

Desulphation

The Desulphation stage is designed to break down sulphation occurring in batteries 
that have been left flat for extended periods of time, returning them back to full charge. 
Sulphation occurs when lead-sulphate hardens and clogs up the battery cells.

Soft Start

This is a preliminary charge process that gently introduces power to the battery, 
protecting the battery and increasing battery life.

Bulk (Constant Current)

The Bulk stage reduces charging time by charging the battery at the maximum rate (constant 
current) to a set voltage, at which point the battery is approximately 80% charged.

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.
