Charging Steps

The charger is programmed with seven smart charging steps. It will go
through some or all steps in order to extend your battery's life and
maximize its performance.
Standby
The charger is ready to charge.
Qualification
The charger will check the battery condition, such as voltage,
state-of-charge and health, to determine whether the battery is good for
charging. If the battery is slightly sulfated, the charger will rejuvenate
and recover the battery. As a safety measure, charging process will
begin only if the battery is above 4V.
Soft Start
If the battery is at a very low state of charge, small charging voltage and
current will be applied in order to prepare the battery for the next
charging step.
