deep-discharged for an extended period may develop permanent damage in one or more cells. Such batteries may heat up excessively

during high current charging.

Monitor the battery temperature during the first hour, then hourly there-after. Check for unusual signs, such as bubbling or leaking

electrolyte, heightened activity in one cell compared to others, or hissing sounds. If at any time the battery is uncomfortably hot to touch or

you notice any unusual signs, DISCONNECT THE CHARGER IMMEDIATELY.

switches to ECO mode when the charger is not connected to a battery resulting in a very low power draw of less than 0,5W, equivalent to

power consumption of 0,012 kWh per day. When a battery is connected to the charger power consumption depends on the current demand

of the battery and its connected vehicle / electronic circuitry. After the battery has been charged and the charger is in long term

maintenance charge mode (to keep the battery at 100% charge) the total power consumption is estimated to be 0,060 kWh or less per day.

with current limited to 0,2A. The charger’s special recovery mode cannot engage if it senses that the battery is still connected to a

vehicle wiring circuit which effectively offers a lower electrical resistance than the battery on its own. However, if the deep-discharged

battery is not removed for recovery, neither battery nor vehicle electronics will be damaged.

 CHARGE: The BULK CHARGE stage delivers a constant current of about 0,8 Amps maximum into the battery, up to a voltage of

14,2 -14,5V.

 VERIFICATION: The circuit verifies battery charge level.

If the battery requires further charging the programme reverts to BULK CHARGE for brief periods, delivering a variable current

pulse to the battery. These reversions may occur as many times as is necessary to reduce the battery’s current demand below

200mA at 13,6V (which is consistent with a battery that has accepted as much charge as its basic condition allows). (see

expected Charging time below.)

NOTE: For safety reasons there is an overall charge time limit of 48 hours.

reasons for poor test results or how to test a battery that returns a good result but cannot deliver sufficient power once it is returned to service.
