• Absorpsjonsfase: Ladninger ved konstant volumtage, med strøm gradvis avtagendeasing, to fully charge the battery.
• Flytefase: Holder batteriet på et trygt volumtage to compensate for self-discharge, keeping it fully charged.
• Plus Phase: An additional phase for optimal battery health and longevity.

The memory function ensures that the charging process resumes correctly even after temporary power interruptions, preventing overcharging.

6. Vedlikehold

Regelmessig vedlikehold sikrer levetiden og optimal ytelse for ChargeMaster-batteriladeren din.

• Rengjøring: Periodically clean the exterior of the charger with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure cooling vents are free from dust and debris.
