Charge the Battery

This section provides basic information on battery operations. See specifications on

battery charging, charging controller board, and power consumption efficiency for

more information.

Plug the battery system into an AC power source for charging.

The charging controller board is capable of independently charging the batteries

while powering the attached system. This ensures that the charge rate of the

batteries is the same whether a load is connected or not. Charge time varies

depending on the age and usage of the battery. Typically, as a battery ages, it

tends to accept less charge; that is, the charge time decreases. Consequently,

as the battery accepts less charge, the battery usage time decreases.

Periodically, charge the battery for 10 hours. This assures that the maximum charge

capacity of the battery is maintained. The charger enters the trickle charging cycle

after the current supplied to the batteries drops below .5 amps. Charge the batteries

for 10 hours for every eight charges to 100%.
