REFRESH OPERATION
If a battery is not used for a long time (example: seasonal works, holiday periods), it should be kept fully charged to avoid a
reduction of performance, therefore it's very important to charge the battery before leaving in standby for more than 72
hours. The self-discharge process makes it harder to keep a battery full over extended standby periods (weeks or months).
The refresh function is useful to keep the battery in optimal condition when it's in standby.
It is sufcient to leave the battery connected to the charger after the charge and the equalization is complete. The
MTL
control’s microprocessor will keep the battery voltage under control and will activate the charger automatically if the voltage
drops below a predened minimum theshold.
While the battery is monitored by the charger, the display will show the scrolling message “VoLt COntrOL”:
If the voltage drops down below the minimum threshold, the charger will give an extra charge cycle to keep the battery in
optimal condition, and the display will show the scrolling message “rEFrESh”.
