Battery Charging Reference
B–6 975-0170-01-01
The numbers presented in Table B-1 and elsewhere in this guide are base
numbers only and will vary with factors such as temperature
compensation and battery type.
Battery Charger Interruption
If battery charging is interrupted in bulk charge (for example, AC is
disconnected, or a fault occurs), the unit will return to bulk charge when
battery charging resumes.
If battery charging is interrupted in any stage other than bulk, the unit will
go to float charge when battery charging resumes.
However, if any of two conditions occur, a new bulk charge cycle is
initiated when battery charging begins:
• the battery drops below 12.5 VDC for 15 minutes (V
F2
). The 15
minute countdown is independent of mode: inverting, bulk charging,
float charging, for example.
• 21 days have passed from the time the charger completed Absorption
