Charging Profile
limit, based on battery size settings, charging moves on to the next stage. For flooded batteries, the absorption charge is maintained for approximately one more hour. The absorption charge stage restores the remaining 25% of the battery’s charge.
Float Charge
The float charge is a maintenance mode in which the output voltage of the Prosine inverter/charger is reduced to a lower level, typically about 13.5 volts, (27 volts for 24V models) to maintain the battery's charge without losing electrolyte through gassing. Unlike many
Equalization Charge
The fourth charging step, known as the equalization charge, is manually initiated because it is not required every time the battery is recharged. Equalization is a deliberate overcharge of the battery. Equalizing your batteries will reduce sulfation and help reach and maintain the peak capacity of the battery.
During normal charging, temperature and chemical imbalances prevent some cells from reaching full charge. These reduced capacity cells accelerate sulfation (the build up of lead sulfate on the battery plates) and decrease the
An equalization charge should only be performed on vented, flooded
