If the A/C is reconnected or the battery voltage drops below 12Vdc/24Vdc/48Vdc, the charger will
reset the cycle above.
If the charge maintains the float state for 10 days, the charger will deliberately reset the cycle to
protect the battery.
Battery Charging Processes
De-sulphation
The de-sulphation cycle on switch position 8 is marked in red because this is a very dangerous
setting if you do not know what you are doing. Before ever attempting to use this cycle you must
clearly understand what it does and when and how you would use it.
What causes sulphation? This can occur with infrequent use of the batteries, nor if the batteries
have been left discharged so low that they will not accept a charge. As the saying goes, desperate
diseases must have desperate remedies. This cycle is a very high voltage charge cycle especially
designed to try to break down the sulphated crust that is preventing the plates from taking a charge
and thus allow the plates to clean up and accept a charge once again.
Warning!
The de-sulphation charging should not be carried out
on batteries with good conditions
.
