Page 8: Special Features
Special features SPECIAL FEATURE: Adaptive Loading (not applicable to M106E/M108E) USER Fully charges all connected batteries in the BENEFIT: shortest time. 10 % 50 % 50 % 90 % The Adaptive Loading feature dynamically adjusts the charger’s output level on each output bank. More charging power is allocated to battery that is low in charge, and less charging power to battery that is closer to being fully charged. - Page 9 Special features discharge. At the first stage (Bulk), the charger provides its maximum constant current to fast charge the battery. The battery’s voltage rises as it absorbs the charge. When the battery voltage reaches 14.6V (Flooded mode*), it is about 80% recharged. The charger then moves to the second stage. At the second stage (Absorption), the charger continues to charge the battery at 14.6V (Flooded mode).
