Bulk phase In this phase the batteries are charged with a constant current up to the end of charge voltage (Ubulk), If UBulk is reached the charger will automatically switch to absorption phase. The maximum charge current (Imax) for Super B batteries is mentioned in table 11, however for endurance cycle life Super B suggests to limit the current to 1C = nominal battery capacity.
Super B Be in charge Float phase In this phase the charge voltage is set to UFloat. Float Phase Typical 13.8V DC 13.6V DC 14V DC Float Table 14. Float Phase Maintenance phase If supported by the charger, every t3 hours the charger can do a maintenance charge to make sure that the batteries are kept fully charged.
6.3. Cleaning If necessary, clean the Li-ion battery with a soft, dry cloth. Never use liquids, solvents, or abrasives to clean the Li-ion battery. Storage Follow the storage instructions in this manual to optimize the lifespan of the Li-ion battery during storage.
Super B Be in charge Transportation 8.1. General To transport the Li-ion battery, make sure the transportation terminal is installed. Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a Li-ion Iron Phosphate battery. Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.
Disposal and recycling 9.1. General information Always discharge the battery before disposal.
