The charging process can be divided into three stages: constant current, constant voltage, and trickle charge. In stage one, known as constant current charging, a large amount of current is sent through the battery to charge it quickly. The voltage across the battery begins to rise during this stage as it fills up with electrical potential energy.
A three-stage battery charger is the method most lead acid battery manufacturers recommend as the best and most efficient way to return full capacity to the battery and extend battery life. All Chargetek lead acid chargers, except for the CT150 (which is a maintenance charger), are three-stage chargers and return full capacity.
The first stage of battery charging is called the constant current stage. In this stage, the charger supplies a constant amount of current to the battery. The purpose of this stage is to quickly bring the battery up to an acceptable voltage level. Once the battery reaches this level, it will move on to the next stage of charging.
The second stage of battery charging is called the constant voltage stage. In this stage, the charger supplies a constant voltage to the battery. The purpose of this stage is to slowly top off the battery so it doesn’t overcharge and become damaged.
Stage 3 is called the U-phase or float charge state, the voltage is reduced to a value that is safe to be applied for long periods (weeks) without significantly reducing the lifetime of the battery. During this phase, the charge current decreases gradually to a small residual value that compensates for any self-discharge of the battery.
Qualification, or equalization are sometimes considered another stage. A 2 stage unit will have bulk and float stages. It is important to use battery manufacturer's recommendations on charging procedures and voltages, or a quality microprocessor controlled charger to maintain battery capacity and service life.
