RECONDITION
If after charging, the battery is unable to hold the charge the battery reconditioning
function is initiated automatically. This is most likely to take place on batteries that
have been deeply discharged, prior to charging. The Recondition mode will then run
for 4 hours and at the end will retest the battery. The Intelli-Charge battery charger
will perform the recondition charge up to 3 times before switching the charging cycle
to Float with an error indication.
FLOAT
The Float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or
damaging the battery. This means the charger can be left connected to the battery
indefinitely.
5-STAGE LITHIUM AUTOMATIC CHARGING
When the Lithium Profile is selected, Intelli-Charge utilises a very specific and tailored
5 stage charging algorithm, engineered to get the best out of today’s Lithium (LiFePO4)
batteries. From the smallest 1 Amp unit up to the largest 50 Amp offering, world class
electronics guarantee the battery receives the ultimate charge to ensure maximum life
and performance over the life of the battery.
The 5 lithium charge stages are:
Soft Start 1; Soft Start 2; Bulk Charge; Absorption and Float.
