Desulphation mode of Schumacher 1200?

I bought a schumacher 1200sc/a charger. How do I get to the desulphation mode? It say it has in the manual, but doesn't show how to set it. Does it automatically detect it and go into that mode?

Soo it will only detect it if it has to be desulphated? You can't manually set it right? How will it know? I think I should have gotten the ctek7000 instead. Cause you can manually desulphate the battery no matter how bad it is.

 

Thanks for the help though man.

 

Lol idk man I just did a quick google search and came up with that... I don't actually have one of these chargers.

 

Anyone know why when I charge a reg lead acid battery it says it 100% charge, but doesn't go into float mode?

 

bumppp

Are you sure its not? Have you checked with a MM to see if there is more voltage present with the charger attached vs not attached?

 

Yes cause I charged my other car battery agm and it went into the float mode.

 

Yes it charges but won't top off for some reason maybe cause one is agm and the other is lead acid

 

I'm confused. Are you charging an AGM or flooded cell battery.

You won't have good luck (if any) trying to de sulfate an AGM battery.

 

It say you can desulfate a Agnes battery. But I was charging a lead acid battery. I am talking about 2 things.

 

It may say that, but its not realistic. De sulfating a battery requires a place for the build upon the plates to be shed too. AGM batteries don't have space in the bottom of the battery for the build up to fall to.

Another reason I don't care for AGM batteries. In my opinion, the only advantage they have they can be mounted in any position and don't leak when they get damaged.

 

A ATM still lead acid battery.

 

Agm

 

Vumpppp

 

How long you guys leave the battery on float mode?

 

Bumpppppp

 

you need to take a trip to Battery University
