STEP 10 - The ampmatic™ current control program now delivers pulses of current up to a voltage of
14.4V, to equalise the individual cells within the battery and optimizes charge level. Charge time is 2h / 120
minutes.
STEP 11 - the MAINTENANCE CHARGE CYCLE consists of 30 minute charge periods followed by and alternating
with a 30 minute 'rest' periods, during which there is no charge current. During the 30 minute charge cycles
current is delivered only if the battery has lost charge as compared to the TEST result in STEP 9.
