Instruccions de funcionament

The CTEK XS 7000 operates as a fully automatic 7-step charger. Once connected, it will proceed through the following stages:

• Step 1: Desulphation: Detects sulphated batteries and applies a pulsed voltage to remove sulphate from the lead plates, restoring battery capacity.
• Step 2: Soft Start: Tests if the battery can accept charge. This step prevents charging a defective battery.
• Step 3: Bulk: Càrrega principal stage where 80% of the charge is delivered. The charger delivers maximum current until the battery voltage arriba a un nivell establert.
• Step 4: Absorption: Completes the charge up to 100%. The current decreases as the battery voltage reaches its maximum.
• Step 5: Analyze: Tests if the battery can hold charge. If the battery voltage drops, the charger will restart the charging cycle.
• Step 6: Recond (Recondition): This step is for deeply discharged batteries. It mixes the battery acid and restores the battery capacity. (Note: The XS 7000 does not have a manual Recond mode, it's part of the automatic process if needed).
• Step 7: Float: Maintains the battery at maximum charge by providing a constant voltage càrrec.
• Step 8: Pulse (Maintenance Charging): Maintains the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage and gives a pulse when needed.

The clear LED display on the charger indicates the current charging stage and battery status. If the charger detects an issue, such as reverse polarity, an error indicator will light up.
