1. 27 6V In this stage the battery is full and only takes in the amount of current necessary for maintaining the capacity The float voltage is preset independently by user according to the type of battery such that battery can be connected permanently to the charger when it is not in use F Manual Equalization Charging for wet type battery only Wet lead acid battery requires periodic high voltage charging about 10 overcharge absorption voltage to balance the voltage of each cell reverse the high concentration of electrolyte at the bottom and clear up large sulfate crystals on the plates You can use the Calcium Calcium selection to perform the manual equalization by carefully following the battery maker s recommended frequency and duration Make sure to manually switch off charger when time is up Take special precautions as battery will emit explosive gas during equalization charge F Dual bank charging This feature is for caravans and vehicles with two separate batteries The two batteries must be of same chemical make up and type to avoid over and under charging because only one setting of charging profile for both Two batteries are charged simultaneously and the battery with the lowest level gets most share of the current in the Bulk charge stage until it is up to the same voltage level of the second battery battery with higher initial level Both batteries will go to the Absorption and the Float Charge at the same time2. G Power Supply 2 Stage Charger Mode see Fig 4 At this mode the Charger On 5 LED becomes red color and only Bulk and Float LED will function The bulk LED will be off when battery is charged to about 80 full The 3 stage charger becomes a 2 stage charger or as power supply in this selected mode because 3 stage charger overcharges battery with external load This selected mode is intended for use to charge battery with external load such as caravan or other battery and external load combination A 2 Stage charger can be used as a combination charger power supply An external load can draw current from the charger while the charger is recharging a battery The charger doesn t care how much current is being diverted by an external circuit as it switches from Bulk mode constant current to Float mode based only on the battery terminal voltage However a 2 Stage charger cannot completely charge the battery when the charger switches from bulk mode to float mode After switching to float mode the battery will in most cases be about 80 recharged The battery receives the remaining recharge while in float mode over several days It is highly recommended to switch back to the 3 Stage Charger Mode periodically when the external load is disconnected Also the external load should not be more than 50 of the max current of the charger unless the battery is fully charged up If the bulk LED is on most of the time then the load is too large G
