Three-Stage Charging

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 stages:

• Bulk: Replaces 7080% of the batterys state-of-charge at the fastest possible rate
• Absorption: Replenishes the remaining 2030% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate
• Float: Voltage is reduced and held constant to prevent damage and maintain batteries at a full charge for the remaining 2030% of charge, bringing the battery to a full charge at a slow, safe rate

Power Factor Corrected (PFC) Charging

Less shore power is required for charging batteries, freeing up more usable AC power for running electrical devices and appliances and reducing the likelihood of tripping shore power breakers.
