V BOOST :
BOOST voltage (see table above)
V FLOAT :
FLOATING voltage (see table above : voltage with no BOOST)
T BOOST :
BOOST maximum duration (see table above – paragraph 3.3.2)
T ABS :
ABSORPTION maximum duration (see table above – paragraph 3.3.2 )
BOOST phase :
Starts up automatically when the charger is turned on if the battery is flat. The current is then at maximum output.
ABSORPTION phase :
Begins when the voltage has reached the maximum BOOST level. The current level starts falling.
These two phases combined last a maximum of TBOOST+TABS (depending on setting). If the current falls below 20% of
rated current, the FLOATING phase automatically kicks in. Duration and current intensity depend on how charged the
battery is.
FLOATING phase :
Starts after TBOOST or if output current has reached 20% of the charger's rated current. The voltage switches to the
FLOATING value and the charging current continues to drop.
REFRESH phase :
It is an automatic weekly cycle (Inhibited or not if mode REFRESH is selected) in order to optimize the battery life
duration.
It will occur only after a complete recharge cycle (BOOST, ABSORPTION and FLOATING).The charger will generate
automatically a safe timed voltage step every 7 days whatever the position of BOOST switch.
Phase REBOOST :
Automatic phase consisting in coming back to a BOOST voltage if the DC utilizations require it (i.e. after a complete
recharge cycle BOOST, ABSORPTION and FLOATING if a some DC constant consumptions are detected the charger will
restart a new complete charge cycle including a BOOST phase).
This REBOOST phase will be authorized after measuring certain battery voltage during a determined time.
When BOOST mode isn't selected
With this setting, the YPOWER charger produces a single-stage UI type charge 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 in the ON position.
