CHARGING CYCLE MULTI US 3300 operates in a three step fully automatic cycle IU o U p . It starts the charging with an almost constant current (0.8A or 3.3A) until maximum voltage (14.4V or 14.7V) is reached. At this point the charger switches to constant voltage, and the current supply to the battery is gradually reduced.
BULK CHARGING TIME The table shows the duration of the Bulk stepup to about 80% state of charge. The time for the Absorption should be added. Battery size Mode Time (Ah) 8-10 12-14 23-26 INDICATORS Incorrect polarity. Charging process Charging completed. Pulse maintenance. Standby / Power on.
