5. Betjeningsvejledning
The MXS 5.0 features an 8-step fully automatic charging cycle. Use the MODE button to select the appropriate program.
5.1 Opladningsprogrammer
| Ikon | Program | Beskrivelse |
|---|---|---|
| 🛵 | Motorcykel tilstand | For smaller batteries (1.2-14 Ah), such as those found in motorcycles, ATVs, and lawnmowers. |
| 🚗 | Biltilstand | For standard car batteries (14-110 Ah), including most automotive, marine, and RV batteries. |
| generalforsamling | AGM Mode | Optimized charging for AGM batteries. Select this mode if your battery is an AGM type. |
| FORTAGE | Recondition Mode | Used to restore deeply discharged and stratified batteries. This mode is typically used after a full charge cycle. |
5.2 8-Step Charging Cycle
The MXS 5.0 automatically progresses through these steps:
- TRIN 1: AFSULFERING - Removes sulphate from the lead plates to restore battery capacity.
- TRIN 2: SOFT START - Tests if the battery can accept charge. Prevents charging a defective battery.
- TRIN 3: BULK - Charges with maximum current until approximately 80% capacity.
- TRIN 4: ABSORPTION - Charges with decreasing current to 100% capacity.
- TRIN 5: ANALYSER - Tests if the battery can hold charge. If not, the battery may be faulty.
- STEP 6: RECOND (Optional) - Reconditioning mode for deeply discharged batteries.
- STEP 7: FLOAT - Maintains the battery at maximum voltage by providing a constant voltage opladning.
- STEP 8: PULSE - Maintains the battery at 95-100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage and gives a pulse when needed.

7. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your MXS 5.0 charger, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Opladeren starter ikke | No power from wall socket; incorrect battery connection; battery voltage for lavt. | Check wall socket; ensure correct polarity and secure connection; if battery voltage is extremely low, it may be unrecoverable. |
| Opladning tager for lang tid | Battery is very discharged; battery capacity is larger than expected; battery is old/damaged. | Allow more time; ensure correct program selected; consider battery replacement if it doesn't hold charge. |
| Charger indicates error (e.g., red light) | Reverse polarity; short circuit; internal fault. | Disconnect and reconnect with correct polarity; check for short circuits; if error persists, contact support. |
For further assistance, refer to the full user guide or contact CTEK customer support.
