charger will go into "floating-
charge" stage. The LED indicator will turn to green. The relationship between charging current and charging voltage for each operation
stage are shown in the curves below :
Status Under General Operation:
At the beginning stage of operation, the charger provides the largest current with 13.6Vdc of output voltage (for 12V batteries) to
charge batteries. The LED indicator will lighten in red. After a period of time (probably a couple of hours, based on the capacity of
batteries), the charging current will decrease gradually. After reaching 10% of its maximum value, the
Charging Current and Ambient Temperature
When ambient temperature below 45 , the charging current will carry on the charge by the maximum current surpasses 45 the charge
current will reduce automatically.
Suggested Battery Capacity:
1.It will not have any problem if the capacity of batteries larger than the suggested value.
2.If you have any question about the suitable charging current for the batteries, please refer to the technical data provided by the battery
It just takes more time to make the batteries fully charged!
