UNDERSTANDING THE MULTI-STAGE CHARGING PROCESS
STAGE 1 DESULPHATION*
Pulses of voltage and current help recover sulphated or deeply discharged batteries.
STAGE 2 SOFT START*
Gently introduces current to condition deeply discharged batteries and prevent overheating that
could damage the battery.
STAGE 3 BULK
Charging with maximum current to bring the battery to about 80% capacity.
STAGE 4 ABSORPTION
Charging with constant voltage while reducing current to safely bring the battery to 100% capacity.
This stage is key to maximizing battery performance and battery life.
STAGE 5 ANALYZE
Tests if battery is holding charge.
STAGE 6 MAINTAIN
Monitors battery voltage and provides top-up charging when necessary to keep battery fully
charged.
