Other findings
- Battery type detection
- Detects the chemistry; two stages, which this manual calls Charge and Power
- Lithium absorption voltage
- 13.6 V in power mode, held until the power is cycled
- Lithium bank size caveat
- Over 200 Ah may need the power cycled to finish
- Lithium bulk duration
- The charge stage runs one to four hours; the hour minimum is for balancing
- Lithium bulk voltage
- 14.6 V in bulk, in its lithium profile
“The two-stage “smart” charger continuously measures the battery voltage output and regulates the amount of charge using two modes of operation: Charge and Power mode”
