Step 8: Maintenance
Continuously monitors
the
battery
to
determine when a
maintenance charge should be initiated. If the battery voltage
falls below its target threshold, the charger will restart the
Maintenance cycle until voltage reaches its optimal state
and then discontinues the charge cycle. The cycle between
Optimization and Maintenance is repeated indefinitely to keep
the battery at full charge. The battery charger can
be
safely
left connected indefinitely without the risk of overcharging.
Charging Times.
The estimated time
to
charge a battery
is
shown below. The
size
of
the battery
(Ah)
and its depth
of
discharge (DOD)
greatly affect its charging time. The charge time is based
on
an average depth of discharge
to
a fully charged battery and
is
for reference purposes only. Actual data may differ
due
to
battery conditions. The time
to
charge a normally discharged
battery is based on a 50% DOD.
