Using the device Perfect Charge CA 360
5.1 Battery charging function
The charging characteristics are referred to as modified IU0U characteristics.
1: I phase (bulk)
The empty battery is charged with constant electricity (100 % charging cur-
rent). As soon as the battery voltage has reached the charging voltage the
charging current decreases.
2, 3, 4: U0 phase (absorption)
During the 3-step absorption phase (U0 phase) the voltage remains con-
stant.(UO). Once the battery is completely charged (IBS sensor), the U0
phase has finished.
5: U phase (float)
After the U0 phase, the battery charger switches to conservation charging
function (see "Technical data" on page 27) (U phase).
Connected DC loads are powered by the device. Only if the power required
exceeds the capacity of the device is this surplus power provided by the bat-
tery.
6: 12-day conditioning
Every 12 days, the battery charger switches back to phase 1 in order to re-
vive the battery and prevent any fatigue symptoms such as sulphation.
