4.2 5-Step Smart Charging Process
The TORNADO1200 employs a sophisticated 5-step charging process to diagnose and charge your battery efficiently, optimizing its lifespan and performance:
- Battery Analysis & Diagnosis: The charger assesses the battery's condition.
- Battery Desulfation: If needed, the charger attempts to restore sulfated batteries.
- Battery Bulk Charge: Rapid charging to bring the battery to approximately 80% capacity.
- Način apsorpcije: Charging at a decreasing current to bring the battery to 100% capacity.
- Battery Float Charge: Maintains the battery at full charge without overcharging.

6. Rješavanje problema
If you encounter issues with your TOPDON TORNADO1200, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Mogući uzrok | Otopina |
|---|---|---|
| Punjač se ne uključuje. | No AC power; faulty outlet. | Check AC power connection; try a different outlet. |
| Charging indicator lights not active. | Incorrect battery connection; battery too deeply discharged. | Verify correct clamp connections (red to +, black to -); if battery is below 2V, it may not be recognized. |
| Charger shows error (e.g., reverse polarity). | Clampje neispravno spojen. | Disconnect from AC, then reconnect clamps ispravno. |
| Punjenje traje predugo. | Battery capacity is large; battery is heavily discharged; battery health is poor. | This is normal for large or deeply discharged batteries. If excessively long, consider battery replacement. |
| Punjač se zagrijava tijekom rada. | Normalan rad. | To je normalno. Osigurajte odgovarajuću ventilaciju oko punjača. |
