The charging time depends on the duration and load current of the last buffer event. The numbers in the table represent a
fully discharged battery. A typical figure for a buffer current of 10A is 2h 20Min. for a 5Ah highcurrent battery. Above 40°C
charging time can be longer.
**) The current between the battery and the DC-UPS is more than twice the output current. This is caused by boosting the 12V
battery voltage to a 24V level.
***) To ensure longest battery lifetime, the DC-UPS has a battery deep discharge protection feature included. The DC-UPS stops
buffering when the voltage on the battery terminals of the DC-UPS falls below a certain value.

All parameters are specified at an input voltage of 24V, 10A output load, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time
unless otherwise noted. It is assumed that the input power source can deliver a sufficient output current.
