PROsine 2.0 Charge Algorithms
Table 14 summarizes the voltage and current setpoints for the charging
algorithms. These voltage setpoints are applied for a battery temperature of
20°C. To determine the voltage setpoints at other temperatures, apply the
temperature coefficient as follows:
For example, generic gel float voltage at 50° will be
