Absorption phase: begins when the voltage has reached the maximum BOOST level. The current level
These two phases combined last a maximum of T
15% of rated current, the floating phase automatically kicks in. Duration and current intensity depend on
how charged the battery is.
Floating phase:
Boost desactivated
With this setting, the CPS3 shore-power unit produces a single-stage UI type load curve. It generates a constant
voltage, supplying the current required by the battery(ies). Recharging time depends on the state of the battery,
being longer than when the boost is activated.
