2. Avvio graduale: Gently introduces current to deeply discharged batteries.
3. Carica alla rinfusa: Carica la batteria fino a circa l'80% della capacità alla massima corrente.
4. Assorbimento: Carica la batteria al 100% a un decrementoasincorrente g.
5. Analisi: Tests the battery's ability to hold a charge.
6. Rigenerazione: Restores deeply discharged or neglected batteries.
7. Carica galleggiante: Mantiene la batteria al 100% di carica.
8. Manutenzione degli impulsi: Applies pulses to keep the battery optimized during long-term storage.
9. Stand-by: The charger enters a low-power state when charging is complete.

Specific Charging Modes

With the touch of a button, you can change your device’s charging modes:

• Modalità di ricondizionamento AGM: Designed to bring old AGM batteries back to life, especially if they have been unused for a long period or have gone through a deep discharge.
• Lithium (7A) & Standard (7A) Trickle/Slow Charge Battery Modes: Ideal for charging smaller capacity lithium and standard batteries. Recommended for Gel, SLA, FLA batteries between 10-50AH and Lithium Batteries between 15-120AH (related to battery's BMS setting).
• Modalità di attivazione al litio: If your Lithium battery drops below its safety voltage parameters, toggle this mode. The charger will trickle charge the battery until it reaches the cut-in voltage, then automatically start normal charging cycles.
• Quiet Night Mode (5A): Lowers the output to 5A, allowing for quiet overnight charging without noisy fans. This mode can be activated on any charging setting.
