Diagnosis & Recovery; Bulk; Absorption; Battery Capacitance Verification Stage - Carpoint 0635863 Manual De Instrucciones

1) diagnosis & recovery:
As soon charging instruction is given to the charger, the unique diagnostic function
automatically checks status of battery (detects voltage). If a deeply discharged battery's
voltage is over 1V (for 6V battery) or 7.5V (for 12V battery), charger begins recovery
charging mode by applying high voltage 8V (for 6V battery) or 16V (for 12V battery) at very
low current of 200mA to recover it, which terminates when voltage reaches ≥5.25V (for 6V
battery) or ≥10.5V (for 12V battery). At this stage or if voltage of a battery is over 5.25V (for
6V battery) or 10.5V (for 12V battery) at the beginning of the process, the charger skips pulse
charging and it switches over to normal charging mode. Recovery mode terminates within 2
hours.

2) Bulk:

Approx. 80% of energy is returned in this phase of charging. Charger delivers constant current
of 1.0A±0.1A until the voltage reaches to 6.8V±0.125V (for 6V battery) or 13.6V±0.25V (for
12V battery). It is indicated by LEDs

3) absorption:

Use of a constant high current for extended periods of time risks gassing the battery.
Therefore a constant low charging current is given at 0.6A to raise voltage to 7.2V±0.125V
(for 6V battery) and to 14.4V±0.25V (for 12V battery) at which point the charger switches to
confirm battery capacitance phase. If the battery is fully charged, it is sensed by indication of

minimize the heating up of the battery, and hence it will eliminate the build up of gasses. This
ensures more efficient and safer performance. In this phase complete charging up to almost
100% is achieved. Charger would initiate charge phase.

4) Battery capacitance verification stage:

The battery will signal to the charger and will only take enough current to sustain small
loads such as alarms etc or current leaks in the vehicle wiring circuit. The charger will be
charging with 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off and use a constant voltage 6.8V±0.125V
(for 6V battery) or 13.6V±0.25V (for 12V battery) and constant current 200mA to confirm
the battery voltage. The charging voltage is limited at 6.8V±0.125V (for 6V battery) or
13.6V±0.25V (for 12V battery). If voltage reduces by more then 150mV (for 6V battery) or
300mV (for 12V battery) the current drawn by the battery exceeds 200mA during unique
30±5 minutes charge verification stage each hour, low current of 200mA is given to the
battery for 30±5 minutes or reverts to absorption charging stage. This process is repeated
unless battery is fully charged. When the battery voltage reaches to 7.2V±0.125V (for 6V
