Charging process
Step 1 Step 2
Step 1: Diagnosis
The diagnosis function checks the battery status and
determines whether the battery can be charged.
Step 2 & 3: Recovery & Soft Start
A deeply discharged 6 V battery of more than
3,7 V or a deeply discharged 12 V battery of
more than 7,5 V can be recovered and charged
with a low-current pulse charge.
Step 4: Bulk
Charges with maximum current until approx. 70% of
the battery capacity is reached.
Step 3 Step 4 Step 5
Step 5: Absorption
Charges with increasingly weak current until 100% of
the battery capacity is reached.
Step 6: Analysis
Analyses the battery's ability to hold charge. Batteries
that cannot hold a charge may need to be replaced.
Step 7: Float/Full
The battery is fully charged and is ready to use.
A trickle charging current is used to keep the battery
fully charged.
Step 6 Step 7 Step 8
Step 8: Maintenance
The charger will switch to maintenance mode, which
keeps your vehicle battery charged to an optimal
voltage. The battery voltage will be continuously
monitored, and the charger will emit a charge pulse
when necessary to keep the vehicle battery fully char-
ged.
