CHARGING STEPS
USING THE G26000
Step 1: Diagnostics
Checks the battery voltage to make sure battery connections are good and the
battery is in a stable condition before beginning the charge process.
Step 2: Recovery
Initializes the Recovery process, if needed, for deeply discharged or sulfated
(desulfation) batteries by pulsing small amounts of current.
Step 3: Soft Start
Begins Bulk charging process with a gentle (soft) charge.
Step 4-7: Bulk
The Bulk charging process continues using Max Rate, High Rate, Medium
Rate and Low Rate charges and returns 80% of battery capacity, indicated by
the 25%, 50% and 75% CHARGE LEDs.
Step 8: Absorption
Brings the charge level to 90%. The battery charger will deliver small amounts
of current to provide a safe, efficient charge and limit battery gassing.
Step 9: Trickle
Battery is fully charged and ready to use, indicated by the 100% CHARGE
LED being a solid Green. In this step, the battery charger will only deliver
enough current to keep the battery full. If the battery tells the charger that
more current is needed, the battery charger will switch to Maintenance.
Step 10: Maintenance
Continuously monitors the battery voltage to determine if a Maintenance
charge should be initiated. If the terminal voltage falls below 12.8V (12V) and
25.6V (24V), the charger will start the Maintenance cycle until voltage reaches
14.4V (12V) and 28.8V (24V) and then discontinues the charge cycle. The cycle
between Trickle and Maintenance is repeated indefinitely to keep the battery at
full charge, without overcharging. The battery charger can be left connected
indefinitely.
Step 11: 13.6V Supply
The 13.6V SUPPLY mode is used for low voltage batteries, maintenance
charging or as a power supply.
Step 12: 13.6V Equalization
The 13.6V EQUALIZATION is used to provide an equalization charge by
delivering a constant voltage of 13.6V.
Step 13: Silent Night
The SILENT NIGHT is used to provide quiet operation by reducing the
charging current to 5A (5000mA) and disabling the internal cooling fan.
Step 14: 16V Boost
The 16V BOOST is used to recover battery capacity from a stratified (sulfated)
battery by applying a specialized high 16.5V (17V Max) voltage to soften and
melt down sulfate from the battery plates so that the material becomes usable
again.
Step 15: 32V Boost
The 32V BOOST is used to recover battery capacity from a stratified (sulfated)
battery by applying a specialized high 33V (34V Max) voltage to soften and
melt down sulfate from the battery plates so that the material becomes usable
again.
