Stage One - Desulfation : Pulse charges the battery to break down the build up of lead sulfate crystals. Lead sulfate crystals can occur when a battery has been discharged or left unused for a period of time, seriously afffecting the performance and lifetime of the battery. Stage Two - Soft Start: A slow steady build up of the charging process that limits the power supplied to protect the battery.
Stage Six - Recondition : An additional charge stage to recover deeply discharged batteries. Stage Seven - Float: Maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or damaging the battery, allowing the unit to be left connected to the battery indefinitely. Ideal for batteries used intermittently such as seasonally used vehicles including classic car, motorcycles and RVs.
