charge current falls gradually to
ensure the terminal voltage does
not get too high. If the absorption
phase has been in progress for
more than 12 hours, the charger will
switch to maintenance charging.
This feature protects against
damage if a problem is detected in
the battery.
4) Pulse : Maintenance charging.
The state of charge is between 95%
and 100%. The battery receives a
pulse when the voltage drops. This
keeps the battery in trim when not in
use. The charger could be
connected for months at a time.
Check the water level in the battery
if possible.

*) Back current drain is the current
that drains the battery if the charger
is not connected to the mains. The
XS 3600 Corvette charger has a
very low back current.
**) The quality of the charging
voltage and charging current is very
important. A high current ripple
heats up the battery which has an
ageing effect on the positive
electrode. High voltage ripple could
harm other equipment that is
connected to the batteries. The XS
3600 Corvette battery charger
produce very clean voltage and
current with very low ripple.
