7-STAGE AUTOMATIC CHARGING
This is a fully automatic battery charger with 7 charge stages.
Automatic charging protects your battery from being overcharged so you can leave the
charger connected to the battery indefinitely.
7-stage charging is a very comprehensive and accurate charging technique that gives
your battery longer life and better performance compared to using traditional chargers.
Projecta's Intelli-Charge chargers can be adjusted to suit a number of different battery
types including GEL, AGM, WET and Calcium. The chargers can also help restore drained
and sulphated batteries.
The 7 charge stages are:
Desulphation; Soft Start; Bulk; Absorption; Analysis; Recondition and Float.

charge the battery.
DESULPHATION
The Desulphation stage is designed to break down sulphation occurring in batteries
that have been left flat for extended periods of time, returning them back to full charge.
Sulphation occurs when lead-sulphate hardens and clogs up the battery cells.
SOFT START
This is a preliminary charge process that gently introduces power to the battery,
protecting the battery and increasing battery life.
BULK (CONSTANT CURRENT)
The Bulk stage reduces charging time by charging the battery at the maximum
rate (constant current) to a set voltage, at which point the battery is approximately
80% charged.
