Battery and charging

While the battery is charging
Charges to full, then drops to a maintenance level

“If the battery is below its full charge, the converter charger will begin operation at a rate that reflects the level of discharge. When the battery is again fully charged, the converter charger drops its charging level back to a maintenance level to keep the battery fully charged. Battery charging is fully automated by the power converter.”
