CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Qualification - Battery condition check
When the charger is first switched on it checks the battery condition to determine whether the battery needs reconditioning.
During this qualification process it checks the internal impedance and initial voltage of the battery and it will determine how much
charge current, if any that the battery will accept. It's also senses whether the battery is still connected in the vehicle.
2. Enhanced battery rejuvenation - Blue bulk LED flashing fast
If the initial qualification detected that the battery was in poor condition, the patented rejuvenation process will begin automatically.
During the rejuvenation process a high voltage equalizing and peak pulse reconditioning charge is used to repair the sulphated
battery. This unique patented feature will break down and dissolve the lead-sulphate crystal build up on the battery plates which
will extend the life of your battery. It can also balance out high concentrations of acid.
3. Soft start charging - Blue bulk LED flashing slow
Gently charges the battery using a reduced charge output until the battery voltages reaches 11V. If the battery voltage doesn't reach 11V
within 6 hours, the safety timer protection will stop the unit from charging and the Red Error LED and Blue Bulk LED will start flashing.
4. Bulk charging - Blue bulk LED ON (Charge voltage depends on battery type selection)
Uses the maximum selected charge output until the battery voltage reaches 14.1/14.4/14.7V. If the battery voltage doesn't reach
this within 24 hours, the safety timer protection will stop the unit from charging and the Red Error LED will start flashing and the
Blue Bulk LED will be ON.
5. Absorption charging - Green absorption LED ON
Uses a constant voltage while reducing the charging output current to ensure the battery receives a full charge without over-
charging the battery.
6. Equalization charging - Blue bulk LED and green absorption LED both flashing
A well proven process that carefully overcharges the battery to restore it's full capacity. The Equalization stage for CALCIUM
Battery type selection is automatic. The Equalization stage for AGM&WET and GEL Battery Types only occurs if the initial start
voltage is below 11 Volts.
7. Battery analysis - Green full LED ON
The battery analysis stage checks the condition of the battery after the charge cycle is completed. If the battery voltage drops
too quickly during the analysis mode, this means the battery is probably faulty. If the battery analysis failed, this is indicated by
the Green Full LED flashing.
8. Float mode – Full charge green LED ON
This stage allows you to keep the charger connected 24/7 to ensure your battery is well maintained and kept 100% fully charged.
Float mode will maintain the battery at a constant 13.6V.
9. Long term maintenance – Full charge green LED ON
During long term maintenance / float mode, the unit will apply a special pulse charge to ensure the battery is kept in optimal
condition.
