MAINTENANCE
The MAINTENANCE function is useful to keep the battery in perfect condition when it’s not
used for an indened time (weeks, months, ...).
It is sucient to leave the battery connected to the charger: the control board will keep the
battery voltage under control and will activate the charger automatically when the voltage falls
below a predened minimum threshold.
While the charger is o and the battery voltage is being monitored, this message is displayed:
If the voltage falls below the minimum threshold, the charger will give a refresh charge to pull up the
voltage to a programmed maximum threshold, and the display will show the message:
“F2”.
NOTE
With this “voltage controlled” maintenance/refresh system, the battery will be kept in perfect con-
dition for an undened time, without any risk of undercharge or overcharge.
If the battery is in ideal condition (no self-discharge) the refresh charge will never be activated.
If the battery is in bad condition (self-discharge is signicant), the refresh charge will be often acti-
vated and the battery will be kept charged without problems.
