3. Charge algorithms
3.1 Smart charge algorithm with optional reconditioning for
lead-acid batteries
Charge voltages at room temperature:
MODE
ABS
V
NORMAL
14,4
HIGH
14,7
LI-ION
14,2
For 24V chargers: multiply all voltage values by 2.
NORMAL (14,4V): recommended for flooded flat plate lead
antimony batteries (starter batteries), flat plate gel and AGM
batteries.
HIGH (14,7V): recommended for flooded lead calcium batteries,
Optima spiral cell batteries and Odyssey batteries.
The MODE button
After connecting the charger to the AC supply, press the MODE-
button to select another charging algorithm if required (the
charger remembers the mode when disconnected from the mains
and/or the battery).
If reconditioning is selected, the RECONDITION LED will be on,
and will flash when reconditioning is active.
The charger switches to NIGHT by pressing the MODE button
during 3 seconds. The NIGHT LED will turn on. The NIGHT mode
automatically ends after 8 hours, and can be ended earlier by
again pressing the MODE button during 3 seconds.
The charger switches to LOW by pressing the MODE button
during 6 seconds. The NIGHT LED will blink twice per second.
The LOW mode remains activated until the MODE button is
pressed again during 6 seconds.
When NIGHT or LOW are on, the output current is reduced to
max. 50% of the nominal output and the charger will be totally
noiseless.
