The absorption time is short (minimum 30 minutes) if the
battery was (nearly) fully charged and increases to 8 hours in
case of a deeply discharged battery.
3.
RECONDITION
Optional reconditioning for deeply discharged lead-acid
batteries.
Reconditioning is applicable to the charge algorithms
NORMAL and HIGH and can be selected by pressing the
MODE button one more time after selection of the required
algorithm.
When in RECONDITION mode the battery will be charged
with low current up to a higher voltage at the end of the
absorption phase.
The RECONDITION LED will be on during charging, and will
blink during the reconditioning period.
During reconditioning the maximum current is equal to 8% of
the nominal current until the maximum voltage is reached.
Reconditioning is terminated after one hour or when the
maximum voltage is reached, whichever comes first. See
table.
Example:
For a 12/7 charger: the recondition current is
7 x 0.08 = 0.56A
4.
FLOAT
Keeps the battery at constant voltage and fully charged.
5.
STORAGE
Keeps the battery at reduced constant voltage to limit gassing and
corrosion of the positive plates.
Slow self-discharge is prevented by an automatic weekly refresh of
the battery with a short absorption charge.
3.2 Lithium-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries
When charging a Lithium-ion battery, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger uses
a specific charging algorithm for Lithium-ion batteries, to ensure optimum
performance. Select LI-ION with the app on your smart phone.
