Battery Charged Condition

When charged, the battery will only accept a charge to replace the losses within the battery (approximately 1mA per AH of battery). If there is a standing load (the panel controller, etc.) the charger will output the standing load plus the losses to the battery. If a standing load of 1A is present with 50AH Vented Lead Acid batteries then the charger will supply 1.05 amps.

A charged battery with open circuit terminals (no load connected) will always be higher than nominal battery voltage (12.6 on a 12V lead acid battery).
