Battery Charging Stages
NOTE
Bulk Stage: The charger will supply constant current until the battery voltage reaches the
boost voltage. The software will calculate the time charging began up until the battery
voltage reaches 0.3V below the boost voltage. It uses this time to as T0 and T0×10 = T1.
Boost Stage: The charger will supply constant voltage and reduce the current slowly
through this stage. The charger will stay in this stage until T1 has run out. After this time the
charger will enter the float stage. This stage will last between 1 hour and 12 hours
depending on T1.
Float Stage: During this stage the charger will supply a constant voltage which is
determined by the battery selected and will keep current at a minimum. This stage acts as a
trickle charger.
Equalization: This stage is only available if the battery selector is switched to position 8.
During this stage the batteries are charged at a higher voltage than normal and for most
batteries this could cause damage. Please refer to the batteries owner’s manual or contact
the manufacturer to see if this stage is needed.
the stage period is determined by internal software
