• Stage 1 (CHECK): Initial battery analysis.
• Stage 2 (DESULFATION): Recovers sulfated batteries (RECOVERY function).
• Stage 3 (ANALYSE): Further battery condition assessment.
• Stage 4 (MAIN CHARGE): Bulk charging phase.
• Stage 5 (FINE CHARGE): Absorption charging phase.
• Stage 6 (VERIFY): Checks charge level.
• Stage 7 (FLOAT): Maintains full charge.
• Stage 8 (PULSE): Long-term maintenance charging.

5.2. Funciones especiales

Press the control button to cycle through available special functions:

• Función BOOST: For rapid charging. Select this mode for a quicker charge cycle.
