7. Charging Steps
14
1) Battery Analysis & Diagnosis
Check the battery's initial condition, including voltage, state-of-charge, and health, to
determine if the battery is stable before charging.
2) Battery Desulphation
Use voltage or high-frequency pulses to break down the sulfates that have built up over
time in your aging battery, to extend battery life, and optimize battery performance.
3) Soft Start
Minimize the large startup currents from flowing when the input power is first applied, to
avoid stressing the components by the sudden current or voltage surges.
4) Battery Initialization
Start the charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.
5) Battery Bulk Charge
Begin the Bulk charging process based on the condition of the battery, and return 80% of
the battery's capacity.
