The graph above shows a charging cycle typically found when an SLA battery has
discharged overnight. The red line (upper) indicates the battery terminal voltage
and the green line (lower) indicates the charging current supplied to the battery.
With the battery below 2.13 Volts per cell, the charge controller enters
the bulk charge mode. The charger will supply the maximum current
possible to the battery until the terminal voltage reaches 2.45 Volts per
cell. As the battery approaches a fully charged state, the charger enters a
compensation charging mode and the charging current will taper off. When
the current reaches a steady-state value, the controller will switch to the
float charge mode. The controller will both supply current to the load and
maintain the battery at 2.35 Volts as long as charging power is available.
