Charging process
Voltage
(VOLTS)
Current
(AMPS)
1) Qualification – Checks the battery's initial condition to determine if soft start charging or
recovery mode charging is required.
2) Soft-start – Increases your battery life by gently starting to charge the battery until the
battery reaches a set Voltage.
3) Bulk – Reduces charging time by delivering maximum charge until the battery reaches a
set Voltage.
4) Absorption 1 – Uses constant Voltage and ensures the battery receives charge without
overcharging the battery.
5) Absorption 2 – Steps up the constant Voltage and ensures the battery receives a full
charge without overcharging the battery.
6) Analysis – This stage checks the condition of the battery after the charge cycle is
completed. If the battery Voltage drops too quickly during the analysis mode, this means the
battery is probably faulty.
7) Float – Maintains the battery at 100% charge.
