Boost phase:
starts up automatically when the charger is turned on if the battery is flat. The current is
then at maximum output.
Absorption phase: begins when the voltage has reached the maximum BOOST level. The current level
starts falling.
These two phases combined last a maximum of T
BOOST
(depending on setting). If the current falls below
20% of rated current, the floating phase automatically kicks in. Duration and current intensity depend on
how charged the battery is.
Floating phase:
starts after T
BOOST
or if output current has reached 20% of the charger's rated current.
The voltage switches to the Floating value and the rated current continues to drop.
BOOST in OFF position
With this setting, the CPS3 charger produces a single-stage UI type load curve. It generates a constant
voltage, supplying the current required by the battery(ies). Recharging time depends on the state of the
battery, being longer than when the boost is in the ON position.

These indicators are visible from the front of the appliance through the light guides, thereby allowing
operation of the appliance to be monitored.
