TC2 204060 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 28 Friday, July 8, 2011 11:44 AM Installing Batteries Multi-Stage Charging Most Truecharge2 Battery Charger models have three outputs that share the full rated current enabling it to charge three different batteries or battery banks that either have the same chemistry or can tolerate the same charge sequence and thresholds.
TC2 204060 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 29 Friday, July 8, 2011 11:44 AM Installing Batteries Three-Stage Charging The three-stage charging mode employs the following sequence: Bulk, Absorption, and Float. During the Bulk stage the batteries are accepting a constant maximum current. In the Absorption stage, the battery voltage is held constant and the current declines. A battery will “gas” (produce hydrogen and oxygen) when its voltage exceeds the “gassing” voltage.
TC2 204060 Series BattChg Owners Guide.book Page 30 Friday, July 8, 2011 11:44 AM Installing Batteries Two-Stage Charging The two-stage charging mode employs the following sequence: Bulk and Absorption.
