3 CHARGING PRINCIPLE Three-stage Method
Charging is performed according to the battery charging characteristics using three-stage method.
The first stage is named as „constant current‟: 1): Trickle Charge: when the battery terminal voltage
is relatively low, then the charging current is low likewise which can prevent the battery
temperature is too high. The charging indicator (Red color) status is illuminated. 2): Quick Charge:
When the battery terminal voltage is relatively high, the charging current will rise to rated value.
Large current charging operation leading to an increase in the electricity quantity of the battery.
The charging indicator (Red color) status is flash rapidly (0.2s/per) as the battery power rising
quickly.
The second stage is named as Absorption Charge: after the first stage, the battery voltage is rise to
absorption charge value rapidly, and the charger voltage will keep constant. The battery terminal
voltage will stabilize in the absorption charge value with the decreasing of charging current. The
charging indicator (Red color) status is flash slowly (1s/per).
The third stage is named as Float Charge: After the above two stage, the charge is basically
completed and the Float Charge is started automatically. In this stage, the charger voltage reduces
to float voltage and the charger current reduces to float value (Red indicator will extinguish and the
green indicator will be illuminated). After that charging current will only neutralize the battery
self-discharge. Even long-term charging cannot harm the battery, as charger can keep the battery
fully charged and so guarantee long lifetime of the battery.
