Recovery mode function on PAG battery chargers
21 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Recovery mode is designed to revive over-discharged batteries that the charger would otherwise reject as faulty.
- The recovery program runs for approximately one hour before the charger automatically switches to normal fast-charge mode.
- Batteries that remain faulty after recovery mode treatment will still be rejected when fast-charge mode begins.
- Recovery mode allows severely over-discharged batteries to receive an initial slow charge before attempting normal charging cycles.
Depends on
- Information extracted from PAG MC-124 charger manual, specific to that model.
- No guidance provided on frequency of recovery mode use.
- Severely damaged batteries may not respond to recovery treatment regardless of the program used.
