CHARGING TERMS Bulk/Absorbsion/Float
Lots of confusion about these three terms. Let's simplify things a little. We have a TWO STAGE CHARGER. The main charger and a float. Not a three stage, that's a bunch of marketing hooey. The MA...

I have had several discussions on this, where one battery charger is labeled 2 stage and one is labeled 3 stage but they both charge the same way.
Here is my chargers graph from 50% SOC. I have put some labels in here. The entire chart is the Main Charge, as I didn't monitor/graph all the way to a float.
You can see where the voltage set point cannot be obtained, it's then obtained and help, and finally the voltage set point drops.. all part of the main charge.
I have also labeled the PD names for stages for reference.
