Each time the battery charger is en- gaged, the 3 stages proceed automatically, resulting in an efficient, complete recharge and safe battery maintenance. Use of the remote control provides the ability to peri- odically apply an
The battery charger stages are:
Stage 1 - Bulk Charge During the bulk charge stage most of the charge current is delivered to the battery bank. This phase is engaged as soon as the battery charger is activated. Full rated charger current is delivered to the battery bank until the bulk charge voltage limit is reached. This results in a relatively rapid recharge.
