2.3.6.4 Preprogrammed charge voltage (default: Exide Dryfit)
A number of preprogrammed charge voltages tailored to specific battery types simplifies the
process of setting the absorption/ float voltage and maximum absorption time:

The optimal absorption voltage for flat plate lead acid batteries is subject to mechanical and chemical
properties. Batteries with high antimony content can typically be charged with a lower absorption voltage than
batteries with low antimony content. (please refer to our book “Electricity on Board”
downloadable from our
website

)
The default charge current setting is 75% of the maximum charge current. This current will be too high for
most applications. For most battery types the optimal charge current is 0.1-0.2x the battery capacity.
