Step 1: Fast Charge - Charger will deliver its maximum amperage rating to the connected batteries for the fastest charge (current regulation mode) until battery voltage is raised to 14.6V (lead acid factory setting). At this time, the ProTech™ will shift to step 2. Step 2: Absorption Charge - Maximizes charge and holds voltage (voltage regulation mode) at 14.6V (lead acid factory setting) for 1 to 4 hours (selectable based on battery size), while letting the batteries determine the amount of amps they can accept. This mode creates activity in the batteries, reducing sulfate buildup, and conditions the batteries for an extended life. After the programmed 1 to 4 hours have elapsed, the ProTech™ will shift to step 3. Step 3: Float Mode - A precision 13.3V (lead acid factory setting) finishing voltage that maintains each battery (step-down voltage regulation mode), which is perfect for short or long storage periods and will never overcharge your batteries. ProTech™ will deliver its full rated output for house loads including: lighting, electronics and pumps. Step 4: Recycle - If there are very large loads on the battery while the charger is on, the unit will recycle to the first step, ensuring that batteries stay fully charged.
