8.1| Explanation of steps 1 – 7
1 2 3
Step 1 "Analysis": An analysis is performed to determine whether a battery is
connected and the battery voltage is within the valid range.
Step 2 "Testing": The connected battery is checked for deep discharge and
sulphation.
Step 3 "Recovery": Depending on the battery charge level and the necessity, a
12 V battery is precharged to 5 V (if the battery voltage is lower than 5 V) and/or
desulphated. During the desulphation process, the battery is fed with a pulsating
current. This process can take up to one hour.
Step 4 "I phase (charging voltage adjustment)": The battery is charged
at a constant current (I phase) until the end-of-charge voltage is reached:
14.3 V/14.7 V for a 12 V battery or 7.15 V / 7.35 V for a 6 V battery.
Step 5 "U1 phase (charging current adjustment)": The battery voltage is held
constant and the charging current adapts to the level of charge in the battery. The
fuller the battery, the lower the charging current.
Step 6 "Test": The test draws a defi ned load current from the battery. If the
voltage of the battery under load falls back to its rated value, this indicates a high
internal resistance or a high level of sulphation.
Step 7 "U2 phase (trickle charging)": If the battery remains connected to the
charger, a trickle charge is performed, according to the charging mode, and the
