There will only be one source providing power at a time, even if all are available, priorities are listed below.
1.2 Battery Charger of stationery/service battery The charger automatically starts when the power is connected, either from grid or generator. With multiple charging stages (soft start, bulk, absorption, float, recycle), PM100 is designed to fully charge the battery quickly. To guarantee the optimal charging for batteries of different states, the PM100 features a Microprocessor-controlled charging algorithm.
1.4 Voltage Charging Relay (VCR, also known as a VSR) PM100 has a built-in voltage charging relay (VCR), which offers a convenient source to charge the service battery by alternator whilst engine is running. When the starter battery reaches 13.4VDC with threshold time delay, the VCR will charge the service battery from the alternator.
