CHARGING PROGRAMS
Settings are made by pressing the MODE-button. After about two seconds the charger
activates the selected program.
The table explains the different Charging Programs:

14.4V/0.8A
Use for smaller batteries.
-20°C–+50°C
(-4ºF–122ºF)
14–120Ah
Normal battery program
14.4V/3.6A
Use for WET batteries, Ca/Ca,
MF, GEL batteries and many
AGM batteries.
+5°C–+50°C
(41ºF–122ºF)
14–120Ah
Cold weather program
14.7V/3.6A
Use for charging at low tempera-
tures and for power AGM batter-
ies like Optima and Odyssey.
-20°C–+5°C
(-4ºF–41ºF)
STEP 1 DESULPHATION
Detects sulphated batteries. Pulsing current and voltage, removes sulphate from the lead plates
of the battery restoring the battery capacity.
STEP 2 BULK
Charging with maximum current until approximately 80% battery capacity.
STEP 3 ABSORPTION
Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100% battery capacity.
STEP 4 PULSE
Maintaining the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage and
gives a pulse when necessary to keep the battery fully charged.
