Stages<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/h4>\n
Stage 1<\/h4>\n
The smart charger will assess the batteries overall condition to see how many charge cycles the battery has and the batteries ability to accept charge. Once it has assessed that the battery is ok to accept charge it will move on to Stage 2.<\/h5>\n
Stage 2<\/h4>\n
Bulk charging will now occur, this means the charger will now start to charge the battery at a rate of between 1-1.3 amps depending on temperature etc.<\/h5>\n
Stage 3<\/h4>\n
Topping off will occur where the rate of charge is reduced down to prevent over heating or overcharging of the battery.<\/h5>\n
<\/h4>\n
<\/h4>\n
Stage 4<\/h4>\n
Float mode. This means that the charge will stop being dispersed into the battery which will allow the battery to sit on the charger without further damage being caused to the battery or for the need of the owner to have to remove the battery from charger.<\/h5>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
