ENGLISH Please read the instructions carefully before starting the machine.

STEP 1

ANALYSING 1

Checks if battery has connected with the charger

STEP 2 DESULPHATION Pulsing charging to remove sulfate
STEP4 CONTROLLED CURRENT CHARGE Adjusts the charging current intelligently

STEP 3

SOFT START

Charges with gradually increasing charging current

STEP 5 ANALYSING 2 Tests if the battery can absorb charge
STEP 9 ANALYZING 3 Tests if the battery can hold charge

STEP 6 CONSTANT OUTPUT CHARGE		Charges with constant voltage and compensates fake full charge caused by high current charging
STEP 7 RECOVER CYCLE CHARGE		Absorbs merge charge and compensates side effect of recuces charging current
STEP 8	ABSORBTION	Charges with constant trickle current for maximum battery voltag

STEP 10 MAINTENANCE

Continuously monitors the battery, and charges with trickle current once the voltage is lower than threshold
