Charging Stages
• Soft-Start
is used if a battery set’s voltage is under 42V when charging
begins. It uses a low constant current to slowly bring up voltage. This
prepares a weak or neglected battery set for the Constant Current stage.
• Constant Current
(sometimes called Bulk) is the main charging stage.
The maintenance-charger puts out a constant current of 3A, its maximum
current. Battery set's voltage rises until the battery set reaches the
optimal charging voltage.
• Constant Voltage
(sometimes called Absorption) is the second charging
stage. The maintenance-charger regulates the current given to the
