THE CHARGING PROCESS:
1) Qualification - Battery Condition Check
When the charger is first switched on it checks the battery condition to determine whether the battery
needs reconditioning. During this qualification process it checks the internal impedance and initial
voltage of the battery and it will determine how much charge current, if any that the battery will accept.
2) Automatic Enhanced Battery Rejuvenation - Blue Bulk LED Flashing Fast
If the initial qualification detected that the battery was in poor condition, the patented rejuvenation
process will begin automatically. During the rejuvenation process a high voltage equalising and peak
pulse reconditioning charge is used to repair the sulphated battery. This unique patented feature will
break down and dissolve the lead-sulphate crystal build up on the battery plates which will extend the
life of your battery. It can also balance out high concentrations of acid. The equalisation voltage will be
16V (32V) maximum. If the charging current detected is less than 0.1A after 24 hours, the Rejuvenation
process will time out.
Manual Enhanced Rejunvenation Mode
To manually rejuvenate your batteries, simply press and hold the Battery Type button for 3 seconds until
the Blue Bulk LED flashes rapidly. This mode will last for 24 Hours. To stop rejuvenation mode, press and
hold the Charge Rate button for 3 seconds until the Blue Bulk LED stops flashing rapidly. Important
Note: Please check your Battery Type and Charge Rate selection to ensure you haven’t accidentally
changed these settings.
3) Soft Start Charging - Blue Bulk LED Flashing Slow
Gently charges the battery using a reduced charge output until the battery voltages reaches 11V (22V). If
the battery voltage doesn’t reach 11V (22V) within 6 hours, the safety timer protection will stop the unit
from charging and the Red Fault LED and Blue Bulk LED will start flashing.
4) Bulk Charging - Blue Bulk LED ON
(Charge Voltage depends on battery type selection)
Uses the maximum selected charge output until the battery voltage reaches the Charge Voltage
specified for the selected Battery Type. If the battery voltage doesn’t reach this within 24 hours, the safety
timer protection will stop the unit from charging and the Red Fault LED will start flashing and the Blue
Bulk LED will be ON.
5) Absorption Charging - Green Absorption LED ON
Uses a constant voltage while reducing the charging output current to ensure the battery receives a full
charge without overcharging the battery.
6) Equalisation Charging - Blue Bulk LED and Green Absorption LED both flashing
A well proven process that carefully overcharges the battery to restore it’s full capacity. The Equalisation
stage for CALCIUM Battery type selection is automatic. The Equalisation stage for AGM&WET and GEL
Battery Types only occurs if the initial start voltage is below 11V (22V).
7) Battery Analysis - Green Full LED ON
The battery analysis stage checks the condition of the battery after the charge cycle is completed. If the
battery voltage drops too quickly during the analysis mode, this means the battery is probably faulty. If
the battery analysis failed, the Green Full LED flashing.
8) Float Mode - Full Green LED ON
This stage allows you to keep the charger connected 24/7 to ensure your battery is well maintained and
kept 100% fully charged. Float mode will maintain the battery at a constant 13.6V (27.2V).
