Read the part about
Meticulously Supervised again
And not have the two words CONSTANT CURRENT act as a trip wire
CONTROL is the name of the game and describing the condition of the charging with a modifying with the caveat UNTIL should serve as a key descriptor.
Read further in that manual. You will come to APPLY CONSTANT CURRENT in the Lifeline section entitled RECOVERY.
So CONSTANT CURRENT is only used to DESCRIBE what is happening during battery charging event. UNCHANGING CURRENT would be a better description.
It is at the moment when unchanging current does indeed change and starts reducing is the same moment when BULK charging is referred to as ABSORBSION charging.
Please tell me using these two descriptions how this affects YOU personally while the battery is charging. THE CURRENT IS CONSTANT is a hell of a lot different than CONSTANT CURRENT which implies NO CONTROL.
The damage of mis applied wording confuses the layman. I have dealt with
"But but but this charger says it applies CONSTANT CURRENT" with regards to equalization or AGM conditioning or recovery. How CONSTANT CURRENT is used makes all the difference in the world.
Care to make comprehension of battery management even more difficult, then use the term CONSTANT CURRENT instead of WHEN CURRENT IS CONSTANT.
The very fact that I need to create a caveat here is testimony to the confusion.
Battery charging is done with control of voltage
Battery recovery is done with control of amperage -- and is meticulously supervised.
This is a question about your inverter control...
Can you set the inverter to produce say 20 amps constant current until voltage rises to say 16 volts. How about 20 volts. Or 10 volts? A constant current producing device is graded by the voltage limit that the device is capable of producing. My constant current device can produce 1 amperes up to near 80 amperes. With a voltage limit of around 180. It weighs almost 400 lbs and is three phase which I have not had available to me for almost 30 years.
No converter nor battery charger can be referred to as a CONSTANT CURRENT DEVICE
