2) If the controller time is not adjusted, the controller will equalize charge  
battery once every month following the inner time.

C) Float Charging

After the Constant voltage stage, the controller will reduce charging current to Float  
Voltage setpoint. This stage will have no more chemical reactions and all the charge  
current transforms into heat and gas at this time. Then the controller reduces the  
voltage to the floating stage, charging with a smaller voltage and current. It will reduce  
the temperature of the battery and prevent the gassing and charging the battery  
slightly at the same time. The purpose of Float stage is to offset the power  
consumption caused by self consumption and small loads in the whole system, while  
maintaining full battery storage capacity.

In Float charging stage, loads are able to obtain almost all power from solar panel. If  
loads exceed the power, the controller will no longer be able to maintain battery  
voltage in Float charging stage. If the battery voltage remains below the Recharge  
Voltage, the system will leave Float charging stage and return to Bulk charging stage.
