Recond (Lamp 5) (only on MULTI XS 25000 and MULTI XT 14000)
This mode is used to recover deeply discharged ooded batteries. Recondition of deep discharged batteries. The voltage
increases with reduced current for a limited time period. The higher voltage starts some gassing and mixing of the acid, which is
benecial for both battery capacity and expected life. Note that the battery could emit explosive gas during Recond. Recond is
performed between Analysis and Maintenance.

Fault mode
The charger goes to fault mode in the following situations:
The battery is connected with poles reversed to the charger's terminals.
The charger’s analysis function has interrupted charging.
The terminals on the charger are short-circuited after charging has started.
The charger has been in start mode for more than 4 hours.
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
MULTI XS 25000, XS 25000, MULTI XT 14000 and XT 14000 have a sensor cable placed together with the battery cables. The
units will automatically adjust the charging voltage if the temperature deviates from +25°C. A high temperature lowers the voltage
and freezing conditions is handled by higher voltage.
The temperature is best measured on or very close to the battery. Therefore always place the sensor as close to the battery as
possible when charging. The sensor cable could be prolonged or cut to length with the same functionality. A short-circuited or
disconnected sensor is indicated by lamp A. The charging voltage is then adjusted to the +25°C condition.
