6. Instruccions de funcionament

After connecting the charger, it will automatically begin the charging process. You can select different modes using the "MODE" button.

6.1 Selecció del mode

Premeu el botó MODE button to cycle through the available charging modes:

• STD (Standard Charging): This is the default mode for regular charging of healthy batteries. The charger will automatically cut off power once the battery is fully charged.
• TKL (Trickle Charging / Maintainer Mode): This mode maintains a constant current of 750mA. For 6V batteries, voltage is maintained at 6.9V; for 12V batteries, it's maintained at 13.8V. This mode is ideal for long-term maintenance to prevent self-discharge and keep the battery fully charged.
• REPAIR (Pulse Repair Function): This advanced mode uses pulse technology to help restore performance to old or idle batteries and extend their lifespan. It is recommended to use this mode once every 1 to 6 months for battery health or activation.
