Operation
Float appears on LCD; FAULT (red)
LED is off and INV (green) LED could
be on or off.
Figure 5-8, Float Charging Mode
• Float Charging – At the end of the Absorb Charging time, the charger
reduces the charge voltage and tries to maintain the batteries at the fl oat
charge voltage setting; which is determined by the SETUP: 04 Battery Type
setting as shown in Table 3.3, Battery Type to Battery Charge Voltages.
Info: If the battery voltage falls ≤12.1 VDC (12-volt models), ≤24.2
VDC (24-volt models) or ≤48.4 VDC (48-volt models); the unit will
begin bulk charging.
Full Chg appears on LCD; FAULT
(red) LED is off and INV (green) LED
could be on or off.
Figure 5-9, Full Charge Mode
• Full Charge – This status indicates that you have entered
the Battery Saver™ mode. This mode maintains the batteries without
overcharging, thus preventing excessive loss of water in fl ooded
batteries or drying out of GEL/AGM batteries. After 4 hours "Float
Charging", the charger will turn off and "Full Charge" is displayed
(charger is now in Battery Saver™ mode). If the battery voltage drops
to ≤12.6 (12-volt models), ≤25.2 (24-volt models) or ≤50.4 (48-volt
models); the charger will automatically initiate another 4 hours "Float
Charging". This cycle helps to ensure the batteries are monitored
and maintained; and continues as long as AC power is continuously
connected to the AC input.
