4. Аперацыя
4.1 Charging Principle
The BAC1203VE employs an automatic two-stage charging process to optimize battery charging and extend its life. This process involves:
- Constant Current Stage: Initially, the charger delivers a constant current until the battery voltage reaches a pre-set value.
- Канстанта Voltage (Float) Stage: Once the pre-set voltage is reached, the charger switches to a constant voltage mode, reducing the current to maintain the battery at a full charge without overcharging. This float charge ensures the battery remains fully charged and ready for use.
