Pulse charging
This is an automatic charger function which
cannot be selected manually. If the battery voltage
at the start of charging is between 7.5 V (± 0.5 V)
and 10.5 V (± 0.5 V) in 12 V mode and between
16 V (± 0.5 V) and 21 V (± 2 %) in 24 V mode, the
charger switches automatically to pulse charging.
On attaining a battery voltage above 10.5 (± 0.5 V)/
21 V (± 2 %), the charger switches automatically
to the charging mode previously selected. This
enhances the charging process.
