ENERGIZING FAST CHARGE
The charger uses a proprietary Multi-Stage charging process designed to optimally charge and maintain
batteries. An example is shown above. The representation above shows the charging routine when
charging a deeply discharged AGM battery in the 20A setting.
ENERGIZING PHASE
The charging process includes an initial energizing mode in which the charger determines the best
charging path for the connected battery. From there, the charger can enter the Fast Charge stage (most
cases), Soft Start Mode, Battery Repair Mode or stop the charging routine because unsafe battery
conditions (short, etc.) are detected.
SOFT START MODE
Soft Start Mode is activated when the charger is connected to a deeply discharged battery. This mode
protects the battery during the initial charge period, as the battery's voltage rises to a more normal level,
and is beneficial for the long-term health of the battery. If this mode is activated, the display will read
Soft Start Mode Engaged.
BATTERY REPAIR MODE
During the Energizing Phase, if the charger detects the presence of battery sulfation, it will activate If this
mode is engaged, the display will read Battery Repair Mode Engaged. This indicates the charge time
will be extended while the charger attempts to recondition the battery.
PRO-LOGIX PHASES 5-7: IDEAL BATTERY MAINTENANCE
A key feature of this charger is how it manages a battery that remains on the charger after a complete
charge has been achieved, such as during the storage of a seasonal use vehicle. Once the charger
reaches the Resting Phase, its output is virtually turned off, except to occasionally monitor battery
condition. This is beneficial for the connected battery, as it reduces chemical reaction within the battery
compared to traditional charger maintenance modes. This greatly reduces the chance of damaging a
battery in long-term storage.
In addition, in Phase 6 Exercising, we introduce a load on the battery, simulating active use, and then
recharge the battery to full charge. This Exercising feature keeps the battery in optimal condition during
periods of storage and non-use.
