AUTO ADAPTIVE analyzes the
battery and selects optimal current for
the size of the battery. Auto Adaptive
shall not be used when charging lithium
batteries.
WARNING! Do not charge Lithium
batteries (LiFePO4) with any of the Lead
Acid battery programs or vice versa.
LITHIUM Batteries with
DISCHARGE Protection
Some Lithium batteries have an internal
discharge protection that disconnects the
battery cells from the battery termi-
nals to avoid it becoming too deeply
discharged. If this is the case the charger
will start a wake up function to reconnect
the cells. If the battery voltage after the
wake up is below 8V, the charging pro-
cess will not start. This is because of the
inherent danger of charging to deeply
discharged Lithium batteries.

a battery is not connected. Spark protec-
tion is disabled when showroom mode is
chosen. When using supply mode with a

STEP 1 DESULPHATION
Detects sulphated batteries. Pulsing current and voltage, removes sulphates from the
lead plates of the battery restoring the battery capacity.
STEP 2 SOFT START
Tests if the battery can accept charge. This step prevents charging a defective battery.
STEP 3 BULK
Charging with maximum current until approximately 80% battery capacity.
STEP 4 ABSORPTION
Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100% battery capacity.
STEP 5 ANALYSE
Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that cannot hold charge may need to be
replaced.
STEP 6 RECOND
Select the Ca/Ca program to add the Recond step to the charging program. During the
Recond step voltage increases to create controlled gassing in the battery. Gassing mixes
the battery acid and gives back energy to the battery.
STEP 7 FLOAT
This step maintains the battery voltage by providing a constant voltage charge.
STEP 8 PULSE
Maintaining the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage
and gives a pulse when necessary to keep the battery fully charged.
WAKE UP
Safely bypasses the discharge protection if active on the battery.
STEP 1 ACCEPT
Tests if the battery can accept charge. This step prevents that charging proceeds with a
defect battery.
STEP 2 BULK
Charging with maximum current until approximately 90% battery capacity.
STEP 3 ABSORPTION
Charging with declining current to maximize up to 95% battery capacity.
STEP 4 ANALYSE
Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that can not hold charge may need to be
replaced.
STEP 5 COMPLETION
Final charge with increased voltage.
STEP 6 MAXIMIZATION
Final charge with maximum voltage up to 100% battery capacity.
STEP 7 FLOAT
Maintaining the battery voltage at maximum level by providing a constant voltage
charge.
STEP 8 PULSE
Maintaining the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage
and gives a pulse when necessary to keep the battery fully charged.

*) Back current drain is the current that drains the battery if the charger is not connected
to the mains. CTEK chargers have a very low back current.
**) The quality of the charging voltage and charging current is very important. A high
current ripple heats up the battery which has an aging effect on the positive electrode.
High voltage ripple could harm other equipment that is connected to the battery. CTEK
battery chargers produce very clean voltage and current with low ripple.
