4.2 Selecting Battery Type and Charge Rate

Use the control buttons on the front panel or remote control to select the appropriate battery chemistry (Wet, Calcium, AGM, or Gel) and the desired charge rate (2A, 8A, 16A, 35A). Refer to your battery's specifications for the recommended charging parameters.

• Ladevolumentage Einstellungen:
  • GEL: 14.1 V
  • AGM: 14.4V
  • WET: 14.7V
  • CALCIUM: 16.0V

4.3 7-Stage Ladevorgang

The charger automatically progresses through the following stages:

1. Desulfatierung: Recovers sulphated batteries.
2. Weicher Start: Führt der Batterie sanft Strom zu.
3. Sammelladung: Charges the battery to approximately 80% capacity. The "BULK CHARGE" LED (Blue Light) will be on.
4. Absorption: Lädt den Akku mit abnehmender Geschwindigkeit auf 100 % Kapazität auf.asing current. The "ABSORPTION" LED will be on.
5. Analyse: Prüft die Batterie, um sicherzustellen, dass sie die Ladung hält.
6. Überholung: Applies a controlled overcharge to recondition deeply discharged or neglected batteries (if selected).
7. Wartung/Instandhaltung: Maintains the battery at full charge. The "FULLY CHARGED" LED (Green Light) will be on.

The charger will automatically switch to the next stage as needed. The "Blue Light On" indicates charging is in progress, and "Green Light On" indicates fully charged and maintaining.

4.4 Stromversorgungsmodus

To activate Power Supply Mode, refer to the specific instructions in the full manual. This mode provides a stable 12V output, preventing loss of vehicle computer settings when the main battery is disconnected or for powering 12V accessories.
