  • Page 28: Battery Charging Guidelines

    5.7 Battery Charging Guidelines CAUTION The following information on battery charger setup adjustments should be used as guidelines only. Vanner strongly recommends that you contact the manufacturer of your batteries to obtain the specific charging setup values for the type and model of battery you are using. This is because battery charging parameters such as bulk, absorption, float and equalize voltages vary from one manufacturer to another, and that gel cell batteries have different parameters than wet lead acid batteries.
