||
The Time Tracker is a sophisticated battery management system that monitors your battery through the interactive LCD screen.
|
||
![]() The screen displays:
• Battery’s current condition
• Percentage of battery capacity remaining • Number of hours until fully charged • Stage of the charging cycle • Battery type selection • Battery size selection
|
||
NOTE: The ArkPak will also store your previous battery settings so that they are still correct even if you remove the battery. | ||
Smart Charging Cycle
The 7 stage smart charger monitors your battery through the following cycles to optimise performance:
![]() |
Stage 1: ChargeCommences recovery of your battery back to peak voltage. Then charges the battery at 6 amps up to a set voltage, at which point the battery is approximately 90% charged. |
---|---|
![]() |
Stage 2: TestingChecks the battery capacity and predicts the hours left until fully charged. |
![]() |
Stage 3: BulkThe period just before boost when the volts are constant. |
![]() |
Stage 4: BoostPeak charge for maximum performance. Battery is charged for 4 hours at constant voltage. |
![]() |
Stage 5: RestingAllows the battery to consolidate after boost. The ArkPak ceases charging and allows the battery to rest while allowing voltage to drop to 13.2V. |
![]() |
Stage 6: FloatThis maintains performance and prolongs battery life – as your battery is continually monitored and the voltage is maintained at 13.2V by automatically adjusting charge current for 500 hours. |
![]() |
Stage 7: Re-awakenThis exercises the battery and avoids sulphation build-up. After 500 hours of conditioning the charger automatically returns to charge cycle. |
