Charging Steps.
Voltage (V)
Step
Current (A)
Step 1 & 2: Analyze & Diagnose
Checks the battery's initial condition, including voltage,
state-of-charge and health, to determine if the battery is
stable before charging.
Step 3: Recovery
Initializes the Recovery desulfation process (if needed)
for deeply discharged or sulfated batteries by pulsing
small amounts of current.
Step 4: Initialize
Starts the charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.
Step 5: Bulk
Begins the Bulk charging process based on the
condition of the battery and returns 80% of the battery's
capacity.
Step 6: Absorption
Brings the charge level to 90% by delivering small
amounts of current to provide a safe, efficient charge.
This limits battery gassing and is essential to prolonging
battery life.
Step 7: Optimization
Finalizes the charging process and brings the battery
to maximum capacity. In this step, the charger utilizes
multi-layered charging profiles to fully recapture capacity
and optimize the specific gravity of the battery for
increased run time and performance. The charger will
switch to Maintenance if the battery tells the charger that
more current is needed.
