8. Please be sure the DC system to which the charger is connected is not drawing
excessive current from the battery for extended periods of time while the charger is
operating. This is important to ensure the charger correctly transitions through
each charging stage to finish with the float voltage level. If the DC system is
drawing continuous current while charging, reduced life or damage to the battery
may occur.
