□ Recharge – This setting determines the DC voltage set-point
to which the batteries are allowed to fall—while the charger is in the
Silent charge cycle—before the charger restarts and recharges to
the Chg Volts setting. This setting should be at the lowest DC volts
level that you want the batteries to fall before starting a new charge.
Default: 12.0 VDC (12v), 24.0 VDC (24v), 48.0 VDC (48v)
Range: 12.0-16.0 VDC (12v), 24.0-32.0 VDC (24v), 48.0-64.0
VDC (48v)
* Hold VDC – This setting holds the battery voltage at the Chg
Volts setting. This is for a system that requires a constant charge volt-
age to be present at all times (see Figure 3-11) .

◊ Battery Type (Custom) – This selection allows you to individually
adjust the fl oat, absorb, and equalization charge voltage settings and to
set an equalization time for your batteries. The following Custom battery
settings display only if Custom has been selected from the 04 Battery
Type menu. Use these settings to determine the battery’s absorption,
fl oat, and equalization voltages, and the maximum amount of time spent
equalizing.
 Absorb – Sets the level at which the charging voltage is held con-
stant during an Absorption cycle.
Default: 14.4V (12v), 28.8V (24v), 57.6V (48v)
Range: 12.0-16.0V (12v), 24.0-32.0V (24v), 48.0-64.0V (48v)
 Float – Sets the level at which the charging voltage is held constant
during a Float cycle.
Default: 13.2V (12v), 26.4V (24v), 52.8V (48v)
Range: 12.0-16.0V (12v), 24.0-32.0V (24v), 48.0-64.0V (48v)
 Equalize – Sets the level at which the charging voltage is held
constant during an Equalization cycle.
Note: Equalize volts cannot be set lower than the Absorb setting, or
more than 2 volts (12v systems), 4 volts (24v systems), or 8 volts
(48v systems) above the Absorb setting.
Default: 15.6V (12v), 31.2V (24v), 62.4V (48v)
Range: 12.0-16.0V (12v), 24.0-34.0V, 48.0-68.0V (48v)
