4 STEP CHARGE
STEP 1 - BOOST:
During this stage the
charger supplies a
maximum current and
the voltage increases
progressively according
to the battery type
selected. This step
depends on the initial
state of the batteries.
The “Fast Charge” LED
is on.
STEP 2 - ABSORPTION:
This is an adjustable
period during which the voltage is kept at its maximum and the current decreases in order to optimise the battery
charge. The “Absorption” LED is on.
STEP 3 - FLOAT:
The voltage is kept at float level in order to maintain the charge without increasing the temperature of the
batteries. They can be left connected without any damage. The “Float” LED is on.
POWERPACK function: Full current is available for on-board supply.
STEP 4 - RESET:
If the battery voltage goes down below 11.5V/23.0V, then the charge cycle starts all over again with step 1.
