REFRESH OPERATION
If a battery is not used for a long time (example: seasonal works, holiday periods), it should be
kept well charged to avoid a reduction of performance, therefore it's very important to charge
the battery before leaving it in stock for more than 24 hours.
The self-discharge process makes it harder to keep a battery charged when the time of
stocking is longer (weeks or months). The REFRESH function is useful to keep the battery in
perfect condition when it's not used for an indefined time.
It is sufficient to leave the battery connected to the charger after the charge and the
equalization is complete.
The TOTALIFT OPPORTUNITY microprocessor will keep the battery voltage under control and
will activate the charger automatically if the voltage drops below a predefined minimum
theshold.
While the battery is monitored by the charger, the display will show the scrolling message
“Volt Control”:
If the voltage drops down below the minimum threshold, the charger will give an extra charge
cycle to keep the battery in perfect condition, and the display will show the scrolling message:
“Refresh”.
Each Refresh charge terminates when the battery voltage reaches a predefined maximum
threshold.
• NOTE: With this “voltage controlled” refreshing system, the battery will be kept in perfect
condition for an undefined time, without any risk of undercharge or overcharge.
If the battery is in ideal condition (self-discharge absent) the refresh charge will never be
activated. In the opposite case, if the battery is in bad condition and the self-discharge is
significant, the refresh charge will be often activated and the battery will be kept charged
without problems.
les are completed, the charger passes to REFRESH mode.
