Charging method C
STEP 1 – BOOST CHARGE
To start a charge cycle, connect the charger to the mains.
The charger is in constant current mode, charging with the maximum current indicated on
the charger, the LED-indication on the charger is ORANGE (or RED 9640). This step allows
rapid charging of your battery until the battery reaches typically 80 - 95% of its capacity.
STEP 2 –TIMER CHARGE
The charger is in constant voltage mode, charging with a decreasing current. The LED-in-
dication on the charger is YELLOW. The charger is now in timer mode indicated by the
YELLOW LED and will remain in this mode until time interval is completed. The battery is
charged to its full capacity at the end of this step.
STEP 3 - FLOAT CHARGE
The LED-indication on the charger is GREEN and the battery is fully charged.
For LiFePO4 batteries the charge current is zero and the battery has been charged it its
full capacity.
The charge voltage is at float level and the charger may remain connected to the battery.
The charger will return to Step 1 if the battery is used. A load larger than the constant
current level in Step 1 will initiate a new charge cycle.
