7.3. STAGE THREE - CONSTANT VOLTAGE CHARGE (Absorption
Charge)
7.3.1. Yellow L.E.D. remains illuminated continuously, but the charger
now regulates voltage and not current. While the charger
maintains a constant voltage, the charge current gradually
decreases.
7.3.2. When the charger has determined the battery pack has reached
80-90% capacity, the Yellow and Green L.E.D.s both illuminate.
7.3.3. This stage ends when the charge is replenished to 100%
capacity.
7.4. STAGE FOUR - CHARGE COMPLETE (Standby)
7.4.1. Green L.E.D. only, illuminates continuously. The charger will
also disconnect itself from AC power, thereby saving energy and
cost. While connected to the battery, the microprocessor
remains active to monitor battery voltage and to keep a record of
elapsed time. The charger’s DC cord set can now be
disconnected from the charging receptacle by grasping the plug
body or handle and pulling the plug straight out of the
receptacle.
7.5. RECYCLE CHARGE STAGE FIVE
7.5.1. Only after the completion of Stage 4, and after 14 days of time
has elapsed, AND if the battery voltage falls below 48Vdc, the
charger will reset itself; thereby automatically initiating a new
charge cycle routine and restoring battery to full capacity.
•
If the charger is left connected to AC Power, and then the DC cord set
plug is re-connected to another battery pack, the charger will restart a
new charge cycle from the beginning (Stage 1).
•
If, during any part of the 5-Stage Charge process, AC power should
happen to be disconnected, the microprocessor will momentarily stop
its program and wait for restoration of AC power. Thereafter, charging
will resume from where it left off.
•
If, while charging, the charger finds an abnormal charge condition, it
will attempt to shutdown and indicate the ‘Condition’ by flashing one
or all of its RED L.E.D.s. Refer to the ‘Troubleshooting’ section for a
description of the Charge Error Condition, if you encounter a flashing
RED L.E.D.
