I finally got to charge my ND3 yesterday. Same as you experienced it rapidly wacks through stage 1 and 2 for desulphation and soft start and is straight into stage 3 ‘BULK’ in a matter of seconds. The voltage then starts to ramp up from about 13 Volts to around 14.45 Volts at about +0.01 volts increase every 5 seconds or so. It sat at 14.45V for the last 5-10 minutes of the BULK for a total of 25 minutes before it switched on to stage 4 ‘Absorbtion’. About 5.5 hours in ‘4’ at around 14.44V before finishing in ‘6’ FLOAT and settled at 13.56V. Total charge time ~6 hours. I assume it was probably around 75% SOC before CTEK charging as it only took 25 minutes in BULK.
Disconnected charger, closed bonnet, unlocked, sat in and started her up. No issues at all. No confusion, no unexpected warnings/alerts. i-Stop lit up briefly in amber as expected and worked perfectly once engine warmed up in normal driving. Just to confirm I didn’t disconnect the battery clamps, remove the wheels, remove the seats, phone a special number, use an app to reset anything or perform an indian rain dance!
