F02 Voltage charged parameter. The battery voltage must be above this voltage level to consider the battery as fully charged. Make sure the voltage charged parameter is always slightly below the voltage at which the charger finishes charging the battery (usually 0.1 V or 0.2 V below the “float” stage voltage of the charger).

F03 Current charged parameter. When the charge current value is below this percentage of the battery capacity (see F01), the battery can be considered as fully charged. Make sure the current charged parameter is always greater than the minimum current at which the charger maintains the battery, or stops charging.

F05 Low-battery alarm ON (discharge floor). When the state- of-charge percentage has fallen below this value, the alarm relay will be activated and the CHARGE BATTERY indication will flash on the display to indicate the battery must be charged. The time-to-go calculation and the state-of-charge bar graph are also linked to this value. It is recommended to keep this value at or around 50.0%.
