Selecting Charging Programs:

Pritisnite NAČIN button to cycle through the available charging programs:

• 6V STD: For 6V lead-acid and lead-gel batteries.
• 12V STD: For 12V lead-acid and lead-gel batteries.
• 12V LFP: For 12V Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries.

For each program, you can select a charging current of either 1A or 2A. The LCD display will indicate the selected mode and charging status.

8-Stage Automatic Charging Process:

The charger automatically progresses through the following stages to optimize battery charging and maintenance:

1. Preverjanje baterije: Assesses the battery's initial status and voltage.
2. Razžveplanje: Applies pulsed current and voltage to break down sulfate crystals on lead plates, restoring battery capacity.
3. Analiza: Temporarily halts charging to measure the battery's no-load voltage.
4. Reactivation Charge: Prepares the battery for the main charge, resuming desulfation if necessary.
5. Main Charge: Charges the battery with a constant current until it reaches a high state of charge.
6. Charge Optimization: Gradually reduces the charging current to achieve maximum battery capacity.
7. voltage Nadzor: Monitors the battery's charge status to ensure optimal voltage ravni.
8. Holding Charge (Maintenance): Provides pulse maintenance charging as needed to prevent self-discharge and keep the battery fully charged.
