Operating The Charger - Schumacher SchuLink+ SC1344 Manual Del Usuario

CHARGING MODE
Charging mode lets you follow the
progress through the 8 stages of charging:
1. Auto Voltage Detection – In this mode,
a battery is connected to the charger
and the charger is determining
whether it is a 6V or 12V battery.
2. Desulfation – The charger has
detected an unhealthy, sulfated battery
and has begun a special process to try
to remove the sulfation and possibly
restore the battery.
3. Soft Start – The charger has
determined the battery voltage and
gently starts to charge the battery by
slowly increasing the charging current.
4. Bulk Mode – The majority of the
energy delivered to the battery is
done in this mode. When the charger
exits this mode, the battery will be at
approximately 80% recharged.
5. Absorption Mode – This mode finishes
the charge of the battery by holding
the battery voltage constant until the
current tapers off.
6. Monitoring Mode – The battery is
allowed to rest for 24 hours before
checking for a loss of charge.
7. Float Mode – The charger is replacing
energy the battery has lost through
