Charge cycles:
The charge cycles of new battery chargers have been specially developed to optimise charging of all commer-
cially available batteries. The variety of technologies employed in batteries available today in retail demand
different charging characteristics to ensure correct and complete charging. JMP Skan chargers guarantee the
right charge cycle for every type of battery, thus extending the life of your batteries.
1. First diagnostic step: “Diagnostic I”
(initial diagnosis)
The charger analyses the battery charge level and
determines the optimum charging mode.
2. First charging step: “Repair Mode”
(desulfation)
Charging with pulse current until the battery
achieves the optimum voltage and current values
to commence the next 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 voltage until complete
charging is achieved.
6. Second diagnostic step: “Diagnostic II”
(second diagnosis)
The charger checks the status of the charged
battery.
7. Fifth charging step: “Float Mode”
(trickle charging with constant voltage)
Trickle charging with constant, reduced voltage.
8. Sixth charging step: “Trickle Mode”
(trickle charging with pulse current)
Trickle charging with pulse current (constantly
available).
Safety precautions:
JMP Skan chargers are equipped with protective features that ensure maximum safety during operation
and use of the device.
• Complete protection against sparking
• Protection against short circuiting
• Voltage compensation
• Overheating protection
• Protection against reverse polarity
• Protection against weather conditions
(IP65: Protected against total dust ingress and low pressure water jets from any direction)
