Smart Charging Feature  

The DC to DC Battery Charger will regulate its output based on the loads connected to your House 
Battery  Bank.  This  function  is  important  to  maintain  the  life  of  your  battery  banks  as  some  other 
battery  chargers  mistake  loads  for  discharge  and  continue  to  keep  the  batteries  in  the  bulk  or 
absorption stage for extended periods of time, which will damage the battery bank. The DC to DC 
Battery  Charger  has  two  methods  of  load-based  regulation  to  ensure  your  battery  charger 
transitions to float stage when it should do so.

or  Concorde™  branded  batteries  (Lifeline,  Sun  Xtender)  use  flooded  setting  and  consult  battery  supplier  for  equalization 

recommendations.  

Bulk/Absorption, Absorption-Float Stage Current Setting  

The Bulk/Absorption (Bulk/Abs) and Absorption-Float (Abs-Float) Stage current settings are based 
on the House Battery Bank size. Typically and for maximum lifespan of the sealed and non-sealed 
lead acid battery bank, it is recommended  the maximum Bulk/Abs (

“h”) current setting should not 

be more than 1/5 of its total capacity in Ah (e.g. select 30A or lower when a 150Ah battery bank is 
use). For Lithium battery bank, see section

” Lithium House Battery Bank Current Setting”.

Once  the  Bulk/Abs  current  is  selected,  the  Abs-Float  Stage  (

“L”)  current  can  be  selected.  It  is 

recommended to select 1/10 of the Bulk/Abs current as the Abs-Float stage current setting.

Note: The battery will start the full recharge cycle again when the battery terminal voltage drops to 13.3Vdc on DMT1230/DMT1250, 
and 26.6Vdc on DMT2430. If a DC load is always ON and connected to the battery bank, a higher Absorption-Float charging current 
is recommended

. If in doubt of the “L” setting, use the highest available current setting for battery protection
