- Stage 2: Bulk Charge - Charges the battery to approximately 80% capacity.
- Stage 3: Absorption Charge - Charges the battery to 100% capacity at a decreasing-strøm.
- Stage 4: Float/Maintenance Charge - Maintains the battery at full charge, preventing self-discharge and ensuring readiness.
The charger's display will show the charging status and battery voltage. There is no risk of overcharging, making it safe to leave connected for extended periods for maintenance.

Batterivedlikehold
The 'Maintain' function of this charger is crucial for extending battery life, especially for infrequently used vehicles or equipment. Once the battery is fully charged, the charger automatically switches to a maintenance mode, providing a small, continuous current to counteract self-discharge. This ensures your battery remains at optimal charge and ready for use whenever needed, preventing sulfation and prolonging its overall lifespan.
Feilsøking
If the charger is not operating as expected, please check the following:
- Ingen strøm: Ensure the charger is securely plugged into a live AC power outlet. Check the power outlet with another appliance.
- Feil tilkobling: Verify that the positive (red) and negative (black) clamps/terminals are correctly connected to the corresponding battery terminals. The charger has polarity protection, but incorrect connection will prevent charging.
- Batteritilstand: If the battery is severely discharged or damaged, the charger may not initiate charging. Consult a professional for battery testing.
- Sikringer: Check the fuse in the fused wiring harness (if used) for continuity. Replace if blown.
- Visningsfeil: Refer to the charger's display for any error codes or indicators and consult the specific meaning in the full user manual (if available).
