7-STAGE AUTOMATIC CHARGING
Thisisafullyautomaticbatterychargerwith7chargestages.
Automaticchargingprotectsyourbatteryfrombeingoverchargedsoyoucanleavethe
charger connected to the battery indefinitely.
7-stagechargingisaverycomprehensiveandaccuratechargingtechniquethatgives
your battery longer life and better performance compared to using traditional chargers.
Projecta’s Intelli-Charge chargers can be adjusted to suit a number of different battery
typesincludingGEL,AGM,WETandCalcium.Thechargerscanalsohelprestoredrained
and sulphated batteries.
The7chargestagesare:
Desulphation;SoftStart;Bulk;Absorption;Analysis;ReconditionandFloat.
1. DESULPHATION
Rejuvenates sulphated
batteries with a high
frequency pulse.
2. SOFT START
Increases battery life
by gently starting to
charge the battery.
3. BULK CHARGE
Reduces charging
time by delivering
maximum charge to
set voltage.
4. ABSORPTION
Ensures a full
charge to the
battery without
overcharging.
EQUALISATION
(Calcium mode only)
Returns a full
hydrometer reading
to calcium batteries
by removing acid
stratification.
5. ANALYSIS
Tests the battery to
ensure fully charged.
6. RECONDITION
Restores battery
health to deeply
discharged batteries
by equalising
the cells.
7. FLOAT
Float charge
maintains the
battery at 100%
charge.

DESULPHATION
TheDesulphationstageisdesignedtobreakdownsulphationoccurringinbatteries
thathavebeenleftflatforextendedperiodsoftime,returningthembacktofullcharge.
Sulphationoccurswhenlead-sulphatehardensandclogsupthebatterycells.
SOFT START
Thisisapreliminarychargeprocessthatgentlyintroducespowertothebattery,
protecting the battery and increasing battery life.
BULK (CONSTANT CURRENT)
TheBulkstagereduceschargingtimebychargingthebatteryatthemaximum
rate(constantcurrent)toasetvoltage,atwhichpointthebatteryisapproximately
80% charged.

ABSORPTION (CONSTANT VOLTAGE)
Theabsorptionstagechargesthebatteryto100%byadjustingthechargerateallowing
thebatterytoabsorbmorepower.
EQUALISATION (CALCIUM MODE ONLY)
Designedespeciallyforcalciumbatteries,thisstagereturnscalciumbatteriestofull
servicebyremovingacidstratificationoftheelectrolyte.
ANALYSIS
Theanalysismodeteststhebatterytoensurethatithastakenthecharge;ifthe
batterypassesthetestthechargerwillproceedtothefloatstage,butifthebattery
failsthetest,thechargerwillapplyareconditionchargetotrytoreturnthebattery
to full charge.
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.
