CHARGING BATTERIES
The batteries can be charged by using good quality AC powered battery charger or from
alternative energy sources like solar panels, wind or hydro systems. Make sure an appropri-
ate battery charge controller is used. It is recommended that the batteries may not be charged
at current > C/5 (where C is the AH capacity of the battery at 20 hour discharge rate).
Also, for complete charging (return of 100 % capacity ), it is recommended that a 3 stage,
temperature compensated charger may be used (Constant current bulk charging followed by
constant voltage boost / absorption charging followed by constant voltage float charging).
