4.2.7. Weekly battery 'refresh'
Once a week the charger will enter Repeated Absorption-mode during one hour to 'refresh' (i. e. to fully charge) the battery.
4.3. Four stage charge curve for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) batteries
4.3.1. Bulk
Entered when the charger is started, or when the battery voltage falls below 13,5 V / 27,0 V (due to a heavy load) during at least
1 minute. Constant current is applied until absorption voltage is reached (14.2 V / 28.4 V).
4.3.2. Absorption
After the absorption voltage has been reached, the charger operates in constant voltage mode.
The recommended absorption time is 2 hours.
4.3.3. Storage
After absorption charge the output voltage is reduced to storage level. This level is not sufficient to compensate for slow self-
discharge of the battery, but will maximize service life.
4.3.4. Weekly battery 'refresh'
Once a week the charger will enter Repeated Absorption-mode during one hour to 'refresh' (i. e. to fully charge) the battery.
5. MAINTENANCE
This charger does not require any specific maintenance. However an annual check of the battery and mains connections is
recommended.
Keep the charger dry, clean and free of dust.
