Charging cycles:
The charging cycles of the new battery chargers have been specially developed so as to optimise the charging of all conven-
tionally available batteries. The range of different technologies employed in the batteries commercially available today require
different charging characteristics to ensure correct and complete charging. The JMP Skan chargers extend the life of your
batteries as they guarantee the right charging cycle for each type of battery.
1. First diagnostics step: “Diagnostic I” (initial diagnosis)
The charger analyses the battery’s charge level and the
voltage with which it needs to be charged.
2. First charging step: “Repair Mode” (desulphurisation)
Charging with pulse current until the battery achieves the
optimum voltage and current values to commence the
second charging step.
3. Second charging step: “Initial Charge” (battery activation) Charging with reduced, constant current.
4. Third charging step: “Bulk Charge”
(charge with constant current)
Charging with constant current until maximum battery
voltage is achieved.
5. Fourth charging step: “Absorption Charge”
(charge with constant voltage)
Charging with stabilised current until current reaches
minimum values.
6. Fifth charging step: “Optimise”
(for Recon charging mode only)
Intensive charging phase with constant current and increa-
sing voltage to boost the battery’s charging performance.
7. Second diagnostic step: “Diagnostic II”
(second diagnosis)
The charger checks the status of the charged battery.
8. Sixth charging step: “Float Mode”
(trickle charge with constant voltage)
Trickle charging with constant, reduced voltage.
9. Seventh charging step: “Trickle Mode”
(trickle charge with pulse current)
Trickle charging with pulse current (constantly available).
