BATTERY CHARGER SPECIFICATIONS
The IC Series Inverter/Charger is equipped with a PFC (Power Factor Corrected) and PI (Proportional Integral) multistage battery
charger. These 2 features maximize the real power from AC Shore Power. The multistage battery charger can use up to four
di󰀨erentchargingstagestohelpmonitorandkeepthebatterieshealthy.
Bulk Charging: This is the initial stage of charging. While bulk charging, the charger supplies the battery bank with controlled
constant current. The charger will remain in bulk charge until the absorption charge voltage is achieved.
Absorb Charging: This is the second charging state and begins after the absorb voltage has been reached. Absorb charging
provides the batteries with a constant voltage and reduces the DC charging current in order to maintain the absorb voltage setting.
Thefactorydefaultsettingforabsorbchargingis2hours.After2hoursofabsorbcharging,thechargerswitchestonalcharge.
Final (Float) Charging:Thethirdchargingstageoccursattheendofabsorbchargingtime.Whilenalcharging,thecharge
voltageisreducedtothenalchargevoltagesetpoint.Inthisstage,thebatteriesarekeptfullychargedandreadyifneeded
bytheInverter.Thenal(oat)chargingstagereducesbatterygassing,minimizeswateringrequirements,andensuresthe
batteries are maintained at optimum capacity.
Equalization Charging: TheEQchargingisusedtostirupstratiedelectrolyteandtoreverseanybatteryplatesulfationthat
may have occurred. The EQ charging mode can only be used with the GP-IC-Remote, sold separately by Go Power!.
