CTEK XS 800 (12V) - Charge Characteristics

Using the CTEK XS 800 gives your battery an optimum service life and operational reliability.
The CTEK XS 800 has a fully automatic, four step charge:

• Stage 1: (Desulphation)
  Runs a complete charge cycle within a fraction of a second. The cycle repeats during the whole desulphation phase. Every cycle recovers some lead sulphate into useful material.
• Stage 2: (Bulk)
  Charging where 80% of the energy is returned. The charger delivers a constant current until the battery voltage has reached the set level.
• Stage 3: (Absorption)
  Final part of the charge up to 100%. The battery voltage is kept constant at the set level, during which time the current drops gradually.
• Stage 4: (Pulse)
  Maintenance charging. The state of charge varies between 95% and 100%. A pulse is sent out to the battery if the voltage drops. This keeps the battery in trim when not in use. The charger can be connected for months at a time.
