The Total Battery Service Process:

STEP 1: Initial Battery Analysis:
At the beginning of the process, the DFC-12 analyzes the condition of the battery, making a replace or charge decision — FAST!

STEP 2: Diagnostic Charging:
If the battery is not found to be defective and requires charging, DFC-12 starts the diagnostic fast charging process. It's designed to stress the battery and expose hidden defects in batteries by combining testing and charging measurements. Within the next five minutes, DFC-12 will determine if the battery needs additional charging or should be replaced. Your customer gets a quick and accurate diagnosis every time.

STEP 3: Conductance Controlled Charging:
At this point, the DFC-12 can concentrate on charging the battery. DFC-12 controls the process, while providing the user with continuous updates of charging conditions. At the end of the process, DFC-12 sounds a loud and long tone to signal the end of the process so the customer is on their way.One-year limited warranty.

STEP 4: Final Conditioning and Decision:
DFC-12 removes surface charge and performs one last test, to ensure an accurate decision.
