Multistage charging ensures batteries receive optimum charging, but with minimal wear and tear, regulating the voltage and current delivered to the batteries in three automatic tages:
- Bulk: Replaces 70-80% of the battery’s state-of-charge at the fastest possible rate.- Absorption: Replenishes the remaining 20-30% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate.- Float: Voltage is reduced and held constant in order to prevent damage and maintain batteries at a full charge.
Less shorepower is required for charging batteries, freeing up more usable AC power for running electrical devices and appliances and reducing the likelihood of tripping shorepower breakers.
