THREE-STAGE CHARGE CYCLE:
An Electronic Control Module (ECM) controls both the output voltage and current of the charger through three
separate charge states:
1. A high current, fast charge state: Battery charges at 8,000mA fast charge current rate until battery
voltage reaches peak voltage.
2. A topping charge state: Battery charges at peak constant voltage and current begins to fall until
current is less than 1.6A.
3. A precision oat charge state:Thechargerchangestotheoatstateandholdsthebatteryvoltage
atcontinuousoatvoltage.Thisallowsthechargertoremainconnectedtothebatteriesduring
periods of non-use, keeping the batteries in a state of full charge.
4. Charger cut-off: To comply with mandate of DOE this charger automatically cuts off after 20 hours
of continuous operation. It Is designed with auto restart to keep batteries charged.
SAFETY FEATURES:
1. Short-circuit protection – protects the charger from short-circuit damage.
2. Ovecurrent protection – protects the charger from overcurrent demand.
3. Overvoltage protection – protects the batteries from damage.
4. Battery polarity reversal – protects the charger and batteries against incorrectly installed batteries.
5. Low battery voltage – when the battery ls under 14V, the charger will not engage.
NOTE: COMPLETE battery charge is NOT achieved until battery has charged for 15 hours.
