1) Battery Analysis & Diagnosis
Check the battery's initial condition, including voltage, state-of-charge (SOC), and health,
to determine if the battery is stable before charging.
2) Battery Desulphation
Use voltage or high-frequency pulses to break down the sulfates that have built up over
time in your aging battery, to extend battery life, and optimize battery performance.
3) Soft Start
Minimize the large startup currents from flowing when the input power is fi rst applied, to
avoid stressing the components by the sudden current or voltage surges.
4) Battery Initialization
Start the charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.
5) Battery Bulk Charge
Begin the Bulk charging process based on the condition of the battery, and return 80% of
the battery's capacity.

6) Absorption Mode
Bring the charge level to 90% by delivering small amounts of current to provide a safe,
effi cient charge. This limits battery gassing and is essential to prolonging battery life.
7) Battery Recondition
Check the battery status, and then recover the small current to improve the
battery capacity.
8) Battery Optimization
Finalize the charging process, and bring the battery to maximum capacity.
In this step, the charger utilizes multi-layered charging profi les to fully recapture battery
capacity, and optimize the specifi c gravity of the battery for increased run time and per-
formance.
9) Battery Float Charge
Maintain the battery fully charged, without boiling out electrolyte or overcharging, so as
to elongate the battery life.
10) Battery Restart Charge
Restart the charging process to maintain the maximum capacity, once the battery capac-
ity is <85%.
