Quick Charging
The purpose of the Quick Charge mode is to fill the battery as quickly
as possible using a specified quick charge voltage for lead batteries. In
Quick Charge, the charging voltage is set to 7.35 V corrected with
temperature coefficient. Charging current is typically the same or one
step higher as in Normal Charge mode.
When the charging current drops below 0.075 A, the charger task enters
Normal Charge mode. It also sets the remaining capacity to 90 % if
current dropping was caused by battery filling up rather than missing
energy at +ExtDC terminal.
During Quick Charge, the remaining capacity can be reliably estimated
only after a certain amount of time. This is when the charging voltage
has reached the limit and the current has started to decrease. At this
point, the remaining capacity is roughly 60 %. Normally, this point
should be reached within two hours if the battery was completely
empty.
Float Charging
When the charger task enters the Float Charge mode, the battery is
considered to be full and the remaining capacity is set to 100 %.
Charging voltage is set to 6.85 V corrected with temperature
coefficient. Current limit is always 100 mA in Float Charge.
If the battery starts to discharge, the charger task enters the Normal
Charge mode.
NOTE
Quick charging is not fully possible for batteries having more than
6 Ah capacity, due to the limited maximum current of the logger’s
charger.
NOTE
If an empty battery (with a voltage less than 5.5 V initially) starts
charging and reaches the 60 % limit very quickly (or does not even
Quick Charge), it is probably damaged and should be replaced to
ensure reliable operation.
