The Charge algorithm is a 5-stage charge cycle with level 1 charging the
battery with high current allowing active loads to be in parallel.
Level 2 is performing the absorption charging at lower current avoiding gas
voltage.
The Level 2 state is time limited avoiding infinite charging if loads absorb the
charge energy.
After the battery is fully charged float charge will keep the battery full even
if loads are active. Charging will restart if loads absorb more than allowed
during float.

1 - Level 2 stage is time limited to 8h and hereafter the battery is considered full.
2 - If the current overpass 10A during float charge charging is restarted at stage 1.
