Y. 11796 TEL: in NY 631-567-0314 TOLL FREE: 800-346-0857 FAX: 631-567-5826 INTRODUCTION The Auto Charge-3 STEP CHARGER, Model 091-120-XX-XX-(XXX)(XX) is a compact, completely automatic single channel battery charger designed specifically for periodic charging. [. . . ] 2) This overcharge voltage is now maintained constant at 2. 48 volts per cell (absorption or finish charge) until the charge current tapers down to {battery capacity/35} amperes. For the 12 volt, 80 ampere charger this current is 11. 9 amperes. The battery accepts 15-25% of it capacity during absorption charge. 3) Once the charge current reaches the tapered down value (see above), the voltage is set to a float voltage of 2. 24 volts per cell, and maintained at float charge. The battery is maintained at full charge during float charge, and the green indicator labeled "Battery Charged" is illuminated. Figure 1 depicts the above described operation. Note that the term "absorption charge" is used interchangeably with "finish charge". Upon application of AC power, the charger is placed into bulk charge. When the charger switches to finish charge, a timer starts. In the event that the charge current did not taper down to approximately C/35 amperes after 2 ½ hours, the charger will automatically go to float charge, and a timeout will be indicated. This timeout indicator can indicate an old or leaky battery, or it can indicate that the charger is undersized for the battery being charged. A battery fault indicator is provided to indicate the absence of a battery, a battery connected with reverse polarity, or a battery with an open circuit terminal voltage of less than 1. 35 volts per cell. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION Temperature compensation is provided as an optional feature.
