●
BULK:
In this stage (full constant-current) the charger charges the battery with a constant current.
This constant current stage occurs for battery voltages between 70% to 98% (typical) of the voltage
limit
provided
in
the
Charging
Voltage
Limits
section
below.
●
ABSORPTION:
In this stage (constant-voltage) the charger charges the battery with a configured
constant voltage. This constant voltage stage occurs for battery voltages above 98% (typical) of the
voltage
limit
described
in
Charging
Voltage
Limits
section
below.
●
FLOAT: In this stage, the charger charges the battery with a reduced constant voltage.
Note:
This
stage
is
not
applicable
for
Lithium
LiFePO4
batteries.
●
FULL:
Charger
disabled,
charging
