Summary

Important Safety Information

6-Stage Automatic Charging

Rejuvenation

Manually initiated 24-hour high-frequency charge to break down sulphation.

Soft Start

Preliminary charge process to gently introduce power, protecting the battery.

Bulk (Constant Current)

Charges at maximum rate until battery reaches 80% charge.

Absorption (Constant Voltage)

Charges battery to 100% by adjusting rate to absorb more power.

Equalisation (Calcium Mode Only)

For calcium batteries, removes acid stratification to restore full service.

Battery Test

Analyzes battery to ensure it has taken charge before proceeding.

Float

Maintains battery at 100% charge without overcharging.

Features

Calcium Mode

Adjusts charging profile for calcium batteries, including equalisation.

Rejuvenation Mode
