Power Supplier mode assisting in motor vehicle programming. No charge phase occurs in it.
It is just a power supplier stabilized at rated battery voltage. It is designed to deliver current
supporting the battery, to prevent it from going flat during operations which require power for
short or long periods of time.

The battery charger performs a special charging cycle, in which higher than average voltages
are forced, to attempt recovery of the battery. In this mode, no error messages are generated
during the charging cycle. When the cycle is completed, a message is displayed to indicate
whether or not the battery has been recovered on the basis of voltage or current absorption.
This mode has 6 charging steps, as described below:
STEP 1 Test 1

Function »
If the battery has a voltage above 6.5 V, the unit proceeds with
the next step. Voltage below 6.5 V will cause the device to revert
to stand-by.
Charge starts at a constant current, until battery voltage reaches
13 V.
Checks whether the battery has short-circuited elements. The
battery charger stops supplying current for 5 minutes. If during
this time battery voltage falls below 11.7 V, the device reverts to
stand-by. If voltage remains above 11.7 V, the battery charger
moves on to STEP 4. If any element short-circuits or the battery
becomes sulfated (as confirmed by message
display during STEP 3), the battery should be charged in the
« Recovery » mode.

If the battery has a voltage above 3 V, the unit proceeds with the
next step. Voltage below 3 V will cause the device to revert to
stand-by.
