- Page 4 Desulphation The Desulphation stage may break down sulphation that occurs 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 A preliminary charge processes that gently introduces power to the battery.
- Page 5 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. Pulse Maintaining the battery at 95-100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage and gives a pulse when necessary to keep the battery fully charged.

Page 15: Mounting Instructions
14. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 8-stage chargers are designed for indoor, out of weather use only. Ensure that both charger and battery are in a well-ventilated space during charging. The battery charger end plates include a mounting flange for easy mounting. If permanently fixed the charger should be mounted to a suitable horizontal or vertical panel, with at least 10cm clearance from the end plates to provide adequate ventilation for the cooling fan. - Page 16 15. PERMANENT WIRING TO BATTERY It is possible to hard wire the DC charging leads to the battery for permanent installations. You will need 2 x ring terminals, an inline fuse holder and a fuse with a rating equal to or more than twice of the chargers output. (See below) 4A = 8 Amp fuse 5A = 10 Amp fuse 7A = 15 Amp fuse 10A = 20 Amp fuse...
