The Ring Automotive SmartCharger range are all multi-stage battery chargers:

1. Desulphation - The automatic desulphation stage pulse charges the battery to breakdown the build up of lead
sulphate crystals. These crystals occur when a battery has been discharged or left unused for a period of time.
2. Soft Start - A slow steady build up of the charging process that limits the charging current applied until the
battery voltage is above 12v.
3. Bulk Charge - The main part of the charging process where 80% of the required charge is applied
4. Absorption - Charged up to full capacity with a steady decline in charging current to allow the battery to absorb
more power.
5. Battery Test - The SmartCharge conducts an automatic discharge test. If further charging is required the battery
recondition function is automatically selected. If fully charged the battery goes into the float stage.
6. Recondition - An additional automatic charging stage to recover deeply discharged batteries.
7. Float - The float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or damaging the battery,
allowing the charger to be left connected to the battery for an indefinite period. Ideal for batteries used only
intermittently, such as seasonally used batteries including motorcycles, caravans, boats and classic cars.
