4) Bulk Charging - (Charge Voltage depends on battery type selection)
Uses the maximum selected charge output until the battery voltage reaches 14.1/14.4/14.7V. If
the battery voltage doesn’t reach this within 24 hours, the safety timer protection will stop the
unit from charging and the Red Fault LED and 50% or 75% LED will start flashing.
5) Absorption Charging
Uses a constant voltage while reducing the charging output current to ensure the battery receives
a full charge without overcharging the battery.
6) Equalisation Charging
A well proven process that carefully overcharges the battery to restore it’s full capacity. The
Equalisation stage for CALCIUM SMF Battery type selection is automatic. The Equalisation stage
for AGM/FLOODED/EFB and GEL Battery Types only occurs if the initial start voltage is below 11
Volts.
7) Battery Analysis
The battery analysis stage checks the condition of the battery after the charge cycle is completed.
If the battery voltage drops too quickly during the analysis mode, this means the battery is
probably faulty. If the battery analysis failed, this is indicated by the Green Full LED flashing.
8) Float Mode
This stage allows you to keep the charger connected 24/7 to ensure your battery is well maintained and
kept 100% fully charged. Float mode will maintain the battery at a constant 13.6V.
9) Long Term Maintenance
During long term maintenance / float mode, the unit will apply a special pulse charge to ensure
the battery is kept in optimal condition. Recharge Cycle every 21 days.
THE CHARGING PROCESS: LITHIUM (LFP)
1) Lithium Activation
The charger sends a signal to wake up the Lithium battery management system (BMS) so it can
detect the battery voltage and commence charging if safe to do so.
2) Soft Start Charging
Gently charges the battery using a reduced charge output until the battery voltages reaches 10V.
If the battery voltage doesn’t reach 10V within 6 hours, the safety timer protection will stop the
unit from charging.
3) Bulk Charging
Uses the maximum selected charge output until the battery voltage reaches 14V.
If the battery voltage doesn’t reach 14V within 24 hours, the safety timer protection will stop the
unit from charging.
