Note:
If you want your battery to sustain a longer life, slow
charges it. Slow charging will take longer but will charge your
battery more thoroughly. If your battery needs to charge in a short
amount of time, use the rapid charge setting.
Battery Reconditioning
When your battery has been unused for long periods of time, the
battery will be in a deep discharged state. This function is to recover
the battery from deep discharge and help the battery last longer.
The charger will automatically turns into battery reconditioning if the
charger detects the battery is still less than 12V after battery test
process.
Charging Time
Charging time may vary depending on some factors listed below
stop the process.
• Battery State – Depending on the voltage of your battery, it may
take up to 10 hours to charge. Batteries with higher voltage can
usually be charged in a few hours.
• Battery Rating – A higher rated battery will take longer to charge
than a lower rated battery under the same conditions. A battery
is rated in ampere-hours (Ah), reserve capacity (RC), and
cold-cranking amps (CCA).
• Charge Rate – The charge rate is measured in amps. A battery
charged at a lower rate will take longer than a battery charged at
a higher rate. However, smaller batteries can be easily damaged
by charging at a rate which is too high for the capacity of the
battery.
• Temperature – Cold temperature will affect a battery’s ability to
accept a charge. Charging in cold temperatures will increase the
amount of time required to charge a battery.
