Charging Phases
The diagnostic function automatically checks
battery status and detects the voltage.
Charging 80% of the energy
1) Charging with high rate: Charger delivers
constant current of 3.8 A until the voltage
reaches to 12.8 V.
2) Charging with medium rate: Charger delivers
constant current of 3.0 A until the voltage
reaches to 14.1 V. Since current is not
delivered at highest constant level, charger will
minimize the heating up of the battery, and
hence will eliminate the build up of gases.
Charging up to almost 100%
A constant low charging current is given at 0.8
A to raise voltage from 14.1 V to 14.4 V.
Charger switches to trickle charge phase after
sensing that the battery is truly fully charged.
Battery is fully charged and ready to use.
When voltage drops below 12.8 V due to
connected
discharging, monitoring circuit senses that
battery needs more current to maintain its
charge than available in trickle charge phase.
The charger switches to maintenance charge
phase.
