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.
Step 8: Maintenance
Continuously monitors the battery to determine when a
maintenance charge should be initiated. If the battery voltage
falls below its target threshold, the charger will restart the
Maintenance cycle until voltage reaches its optimal state and then
discontinues the charge cycle. The cycle between Optimization
and Maintenance is repeated indefinitely to keep the battery at
full charge. The battery charger can be safely left connected
indefinitely without the risk of overcharging.
