THE CHARGING PROCESS:
The charging stages are as follows:
NORMAL CHARGING MODE
:
All Led will light ON a second when A.C. Power is on. It goes to the NORMAL Charging Mode
automatically.
There are 3 stages:
o
Bulk Charging Mode (C.C. Mode)
Charging Green LED is flashing.
The battery can be charged about 80%.
The charger delivers an almost constant current 2A until the battery voltage reaches
the set value.
o
Absorption Mode (C.V. Mode)
Charging Green LED is flashing.
The battery can charge up to almost 100%.
The charging current tapers and the charging voltage are kept constant at the set
value.
o
Maintenance Mode (Float Mode)
Charging Green LED is on continuously.
The Float Mode allows the charger to effectively be left connected to your batteries,
over the course of a season, without overcharging your batteries, and maintains your
battery in a good condition if it is not being used.
