Charger Mode Messages

When AC (shore power or generator power) is available, the
inverter/charger automatically switches to the charger mode.
There are four separate charger modes: Bulk, Absorption,
Float and Equalization. Refer to the inverter/charger Owner’s
Manual for details on charger modes.

Bulk Charging

When the charger is charging in the Bulk mode, the screen
displays “Bulk Charging” and the charge LED is on solid.

Absorption Charging

When the charger is charging in the Absorption mode, the
screen shows “Absorption Chg” and the Charge LED slowly
flashes. In addition, the Batt. Full LED will start to flash
when the battery reaches 90% state-of-charge (SOC)
according to the inverter/charger’s estimate. The on duration
of this LED increases as the battery SOC increases, and is on
solid at 100% SOC.
