THE 9-STAGE CHARGING PROCESS
1-5
Diagnosis
&
Recovery
The diagnostic function detects the condition of the battery.
If the voltage is over 7.5V ± 0.5V the charger begins to pulse
charge with a small current until the voltage reaches 10.5V ±
0.5V.
If the voltage detected is over 10.5V ± 0.5V the charger skips
pulse charging and switches to the preselected charging
mode.
6
Bulk
Up to 80% of the charge is delivered in this phase.
7
Absorption
A constant low charging current increases the voltage
slowly from 14.1V to 14.4V. In this phase the battery almost
gets to 100% capacity and then moves to phase 8 and 9.
8-9
Maintenance
Charge
If the voltage across the battery terminals drops below
12.8V, the charger starts a maintenance charge at a
constant 0.8A until the voltage reaches 14.4V at which point
the maintenance charge is turned off.
The charger can be left connected to the battery to
perform this maintenance function indefinitely.
