STEP 3 - Connect the Battery Charger to Mains Power
•
Connect the battery charger to a Mains Powered socket.
•
Turn on the Mains Power.
Once the connection instructions have been followed, AC power is presented, power White LED ON. The charger will begin charging
automatically, the “Charging” Blue LED is ON. When full charge is reached, the “Maintaining” “Full” Green LED will be ON. The Main-
taining Float Mode allows the charger to effectively be left connected to your batteries, over the course of a season for Lead acid
batteries, without overcharging your batteries and maintains your battery’s full charge, for a LiFePo4 battery, it will automatically
terminate the charge if the battery fully charged and Green LED will be ON.
STEP 4 - Disconnecting the Battery Charger from Battery
The AC Power Socket from the outlet; Remove the Black lead and then the Red lead. Check electrolyte levels if possible. (As they
may need topping up with distilled water after charging).
THE CHARGING PROCESS
The battery charger provides the multiple charging phases subjected to the Lead acid battery sensed or LiFePO4 battery sensed.
Smart re-activation
The battery charger will wake up the “dead” LiFePO4 battery where the under-voltage protection has been triggered.
Soft start
In this phase rising voltage and a maximum of 50% of bulk phase current is applied to the battery to start the charging cycle.
Bulk stage
In this phase rising voltage and maximum output current is applied to the battery.
Analysis-1 Stage
In this phase the battery charger tests the battery in order to detect bad cells (only for Lead acid batteries). For abnormal cell de-
tection results please refer to the troubleshooting section.
Absorption stage
In this phase a constant voltage and tapering current is applied to the battery to ensure it reaches 85% state of charge.
Analysis- 2 Stage
In this phase the charger tests the battery again in order to detect bad cells and high levels of sulphation (only for Lead acid batteries).
Float and Maintenance
Compatible only with Lead Acid batteries this stage is used for long term battery maintenance.
Float returns to Bulk charging
When battery voltage is dropped below 12.5v.
Lithium (LiFePo4) Recharge phase
If the battery voltage falls below 12.8V; the battery charger will automatically return to Bulk phase.
