8: Maintenance
In the maintenance phase, the charging voltage is switched off and the battery
voltage is permanently measured. If it falls below 12.8 V, the battery charger charges
the battery up to a maximum of 14.4 V. Then it switches the charging voltage off
again and measures the battery voltage again.
This ensures secure winterizing, for example.
