If SLA and Li Optimization are set to Capacity (see Saving Program and Target Capacity Settings,
page 70), the charge time is extended for approximately 20 minutes after End of Charge has been
reached. This additional charging period may add 4% to 6% capacity; however, the small increase
in capacity may not be worth the additional time.
If SLA and Li Optimization are been set to Time (this is the recommended setting), charge will
terminate as soon as End of Charge has been reached.
In both cases of Optimization settings, exceeding dT/dt will fail a battery.
Stage 3: After the charge has completed, the battery is maintained at a constant voltage level (this
is voltage is the Maximum Standby Voltage set in the C-Code).
