2.1st stage: Constant Current. When the battery is severely discharged, the Charger applies Constant Cur- rent. This stage speedily charges the battery while protecting against damage, loss of Hydrogen or even explosion. The battery is charged to a maximum of 14.8 Volts DC.
3.2nd Stage: Constant Voltage. This is a speed charge cycle for batteries nearly full. It will top off the battery at 14.8 Volts DC, utilizing a 200 mA trickle charge.
4.3rd stage: Floating Constant Volt- age. This stage maintains a fully charged battery in its best condition by constantly applying small “ticks” of charge. The battery will never fall below 13.5 Volts DC.
