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.

Resolució de problemes
If you encounter issues with your CTEK XS 7000, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Charger does not start / No LEDs light up | No mains power; Poor battery connection; Battery voltage massa baix. | Check wall outlet and power cord. Ensure secure connection to battery terminals. The charger requires a minimum battery voltage (typically 2V) to start. |
| El LED d'error està encès | Connexió de polaritat inversa; Curtcircuit; Avaria de la bateria. | Disconnect from mains and battery. Reconnect ensuring correct polarity (+ to +, - to -). Check for any short circuits in the cables. If the error persists, the battery may be faulty. |
| La càrrega triga massa | Battery is very large or deeply discharged; Battery is old/damaged. | This is normal for large or deeply discharged batteries. If excessively long, the battery may be nearing end-of-life. |
| El carregador s'escalfa | Funcionament normal. | It is normal for the charger to get warm during the bulk charging phase. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. |
