Recondition
If after charging, the battery is unable to hold the charge the battery reconditioning
function is initiated automatically. This is most likely to take place on batteries that
have been deeply discharged, prior to charging. The Recondition mode will then run
for 4 hours and at the end will retest the battery. The Intelli-Charge battery charger will
perform the recondition charge up to 3 times before switching the charging cycle
to Float with an error indication.
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.
5-STAGE LITHIUM AUTOMATIC CHARGING
When the Lithium Profile is selected, Intelli-Charge utilises a very specific and tailored
5 stage charging algorithm,engineered to get the best out of today's Lithium (LiFePO
batteries. From the smallest 1 Amp unit up to the largest 50 Amp offering, world class
electronics guarantee the battery receives the ultimate charge to ensure maximum life
and performance over the life of the battery.
The 5 lithium charge stages are:
Soft Start 1; Soft Start 2; Bulk Charge; Absorption and Float.

Soft Start 2
Increases battery life by gently starting to charge the battery 25% of bulk.
Bulk Charge
Reduces charging time by delivering maximum charge to set voltage.
Absorption
Ensures a full charge to the battery without overcharging.
Float
Float charge maintains the battery at 100% charge.
