CHARGING BATTERIES
The batteries can be charged by using good quality AC powered battery charger or from
alternative energy sources like solar panels, wind or hydro systems. Make sure an
appropriate battery charge controller is used. It is recommended that the batteries may
not be charged at current > C/5 (where C is the AH capacity of the battery at 20 hour
discharge rate). Also, for complete charging (return of 100 % capacity ), it is recom-
mended that a 3 stage, temperature compensated charger may be used (Constant current
bulk charging followed by constant voltage boost / absorption charging followed by
constant voltage float charging )
