Regeneration step for the reactivation of deep discharged batteries

Regeneration step for deep discharged batteries

When a battery is connected to the charger, the device first determines independently what the charging status of the battery is (deep discharged, partially discharged). If the battery is detected as deep discharged, the charging process will automatically start in regeneration mode. A lower charging current is used to bring the deep discharged battery back to a voltage at which the regular charging function can be started.

Should this be no longer possible, the battery is detected as defective and the error is indicated by an optical signal.

Float charging phase – ideal for longer periods of inactivity

Float charging for longer periods of inactivity

Thanks to the float charging phase included in the multi-step charging process, the battery capacity is constantly monitored, optimally recharged if necessary and capacity losses due to self-discharge are compensated immediately.

This fully automatic feature guarantees the instant operability of your vehicle at all times and ensures that your battery is fully efficient even after long periods of inactivity.

Integrated: auto-memory function

The auto-memory function ensures that the battery charger returns automatically to the previously selected mode after power is restarted following a supply voltage failure.

Safe operation – protection against short circuit, reverse polarity and overcharging

Defective, short-circuited or reverse-poled rechargeable batteries are automatically detected by the charger and indicated by visual warning signals.

Clear display – easy to use

With the MODE button you can easily and conveniently select the desired settings or charging method.

12 V AGM mode

The 12 V AGM mode is suitable for charging 12 V AGM batteries from 30 Ah. The maximum charging current is 16 A. The final charge voltage is 14.7 V.

Step 1: Softstart phase
The first charging step serves to put a deep discharged battery back into a chargeable state. The softstart phase is not necessary, if the battery voltage is at least 10.0 V.

Step 2: Bulk phase
In this step, the battery is constantly charged with max. 16 A charging current.

Step 3: Absorption phase
In step 3, the battery is charged with constant voltage.

Step 4: Floating phase
After reaching the cut-off-voltage (14.7 V), the battery is constantly supplied with current. Capacity losses through self-discharge are compensated immediately.

12 V SLA/Gel mode

The 12 V SLA/Gel mode is suitable for charging 12 V lead-acid and lead-gel batteries from 30 Ah. The maximum charging current is 16 A. The final charge voltage is 14.4 V.

Step 1: Softstart phase
The first charging step serves to put a deep discharged battery back into a chargeable state. The softstart phase is not necessary if the battery voltage is at least 10.0 V.

Step 2: Bulk phase
In this step, the battery is constantly charged with max. 16 A charging current.

Step 3: Absorption phase
In step 3, the battery is charged with constant voltage.

Step 4: Floating phase
After reaching the cut-off-voltage (14.4 V), the battery is constantly supplied with current. Capacity losses through self-discharge are compensated immediately.

12 V Lithium mode

The 12 V Lithium mode is suitable for charging 12 V LiFePO₄ batteries from 30 Ah with integrated battery management system. The maximum charging current is 16 A. The final charge voltage is 14.4 V.

Step 1: Check phase
If the battery management system (BMS) is switched off due to low battery voltage, it is reactivated by a control signal from the battery charger. The charging process does not start until then.

Step 2: Softstart phase
The softstart phase serves to put a deep discharged battery back into a chargeable state. This charging step is not necessary if the battery voltage is at least 10.0 V.

Step 3: Bulk phase
In this phase, the battery is constantly charged with max. 16 A charging current.

Step 4: Absorption phase
In this charging step, the battery is charged with constant voltage.

Step 5: Floating phase
After reaching the cut-off-voltage (14.4 V), the battery is constantly supplied with current. Capacity losses through self-discharge are compensated immediately.

12 V Calcium/Boost mode

The 12 V Calcium/Boost mode is suitable for charging 12 V calcium batteries from 30 Ah or for regenerating deep discharged/sulphated 12 V lead-acid batteries from 30 Ah. The maximum charging current is 16 A. The final charge voltage is 16 V.

Step 1: Softstart phase
The first charging step serves to put a deep discharged battery back into a chargeable state. The softstart phase is not necessary if the battery voltage is at least 10.0 V.

Step 2: Bulk phase I
In this step, the battery is constantly charged with max. 16 A charging current.

Step 3: Absorption phase I
In step 3, the battery is charged with constant voltage (14.7 V).

Step 4: Check phase
The charger checks if the battery can hold the charge.

Step 5: Bulk phase II
The battery is charged constantly with a reduced charging current of 5 A until the cut-off-voltage is reached.

Step 6: Absorption phase II
The battery is constantly supplied with voltage (16 V) until it is fully charged.

Step 7: Floating phase
The battery is constantly supplied with voltage (13.6 V). The trickle charge occurs with reduced charging current.
