L.E.D CHARGE INDICATORS
Your jumpstarter unit features two coloured L.E.D's that illuminate various signals to
indicate different stages of charging.

5 STAGES OF CHARGING:
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.
ABSORPTION (CONSTANT VOLTAGE)
The absorption stage charges the battery to 100% by adjusting the charge rate
allowing the battery to absorb more power.
ANALYSIS
The analysis mode tests the battery to ensure that it has taken the charge; if the
battery passes the test the charger will proceed to the float stage, but if the battery
fails the test, the charger will apply a recondition charge to try to return the battery
to full charge.
RECONDITION
If after charging, the battery is unable to hold the charge the battery reconditioning
function is initiated automatically. This is most likely to take place on batteries that
have been deeply discharged, prior to charging.
FLOAT
The float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or
damaging the battery. This means the charger can be left connected to the battery
indefinitely.
