These 8 Simple Yet Innovative Steps Keep Your Car’s Battery at its Best
The 8 Step Process
Step 1: Desulphation. By using pulsing voltage, the MXS 5.0 removes sulphates from the lead plates of the battery and this restores the battery’s capacity.
Step 2: Soft start. During this phase the battery is tested to see if it can accept a charge. If the battery can accept a charge then the charging can begin.
Step 3: Bulk. The maximum current is applied to the battery. The battery is charged up to approximately 80% of its capacity.
Step 4: Absorption. By the end of this phase the battery should be ready to use. The battery is charged with a declining current and maximizes up to 100% capacity.
Step 5: Analyze. The battery is now tested again to see if it can hold a charge. If the battery is unable to hold a charge then it may need to be replaced.
Step 6: Recond. If it is necessary, the reconditioning function is used on severely discharged batteries.
Step 7: Float. By this phase, the battery will be fully charged. The battery’s voltage is maintained at its maximum level by applying a constant voltage charge.
Step 8: Pulse. To keep you on the go, the battery is maintained at 95-100% capacity as the charger monitors it, applying a pulse when necessary to keep the battery fully charged.
