PRODUCT FUNCTION Charging Process The Showroom Charger uses a 7 step charging process to optimise battery performance and longevity. Figure 1 illustrates the charge process in a graph with voltage (V ) and current (A) over time (t ). The charging process includes Step 1: Pre-charge analysis, Step 2: Main charge, Step 3: Maximum charge, Step 4: Battery error detection, Step 5: Float charge, Step 6: Sleep, Step 7: Wake up.
PRODUCT FUNCTION Pre-Charge Analysis The Showroom Charger initially checks if the battery is connected correctly. The battery’s charge level (V) and total capacity (Ah) are then measured to determine the correct settings for charging. Battery status is indicated by the number of segments illuminated on the LED Battery Level Indicator.
