Two-Stage Charging
The two-stage charging mode employs the following
sequence:
Bulk and Absorption
. It runs similar to the three-
stage sequence except that there is no float stage; after the
absorption stage the charger stops providing voltage and
current to the battery and enters a “rest or standby stage.”
Like the three-stage sequence, the charger will restart the
charging cycle in the Bulk stage if the lowest battery voltage
of the three banks drops below 12.5V (12 V chargers) or
25 V (24 V chargers) for 15 minutes. After 21 days, the
charger will automatically restart charging in order to refresh
the batteries.
