Charging Steps.
Step 1 & 2: Analyze & Diagnose
Checks the battery’s initial condition, including voltage,
state-of-charge and health, to determine if the battery is
stable before charging.
Step 3: Recovery
Initializes the Recovery desulfation process (if needed) for
deeply discharged or sulfated batteries by pulsing small
amounts of current.
Step 4: Initialize
Starts the charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.
Step 5: Bulk
Begins the Bulk charging process based on the condition
of the battery and returns 80% of the battery’s capacity.
Step 6: Absorption
Brings the charge level to 90% by delivering small amounts
of current to provide a safe, efcient charge. This limits
battery gassing and is essential to prolonging battery life.
Step 7: Optimization
Finalizes the charging process and brings the battery to
maximum capacity. In this step, the charger utilizes multi-
layered charging proles to fully recapture capacity and
optimize the specic gravity of the battery for increased
run time and performance. The charger will switch to
Maintenance if the battery tells the charger that more
current is needed.
