CHARGING PROGRAM
STEP 1 DESULPHATION
Detects sulphated batteries. Pulsing current and voltage,
removes sulphate from the lead plates of the battery restoring
the battery capacity.
STEP 2 SOFT START
Tests if the battery can accept charge. This step prevents
charging from proceeding on a defect battery.
STEP 3 BULK
Charging with maximum current until approximately 80% bat-
tery capacity.
STEP 4 ABSORPTION
Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100% bat-
tery capacity.
STEP 5 ANALYSE
Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that can not
hold charge may need to be replaced.
STEP 6 FLOAT
Maintaining the battery voltage at maximum level by provid-
ing a constant voltage charge.
STEP 7 PULSE
Maintaining the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger
monitors the battery voltage and gives a pulse when neces-
sary to keep the battery fully charged.

INFO: If the battery clamps are incorrectly connected, the
reverse polarity protection will ensure that the battery and
charger are not damaged.
