STEP 1 ACCEPT
Tests if the battery can accept charge. This step prevents that charging proceeds with a
defect battery.
STEP 2 BULK
Charging with maximum current until approximately 90% battery capacity.
STEP 3 ABSORPTION
Charging with declining current to maximize up to 95% battery capacity.
STEP 4 ANALYSE
Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that can not hold charge may need to be
replaced.
STEP 5 COMPLETION
Final charge with increased current.
STEP 6 MAXIMIZATION
Final charge with maximum voltage up to 100% battery capacity.
STEP 7 FLOAT
Maintaining the battery voltage at maximum level by providing a constant voltage charge.
STEP 8 PULSE
Maintaining the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage
and gives a pulse when necessary to keep the battery fully charged.
