The charger outputs a constant charge current until the charge voltage has climbed to 14.7V (7.3V / 29.4V). Starting from there, the Charge voltage is being held constant for about 120 minutes, allowing the charge current to gradually decay to a small "trickle" current, towards the end of this timed period. at this time the battery is full.
At this point the charge voltage drops to 13.8V (6.9V /27.6V), float-charging the battery with a small trickle current to compensate for its self discharge, a condition inherent to all batteries.
The 3 charge phases are being indicated by distinctly coloured LEDs:
- Red for "Boost Phase" (Constant Current)
- Amber for "Timer Phase"
- Green for "Float Phase"
