Bulk Charging
Controller will provide the battery as much of constant current as it will
accept (up to 30 amps) as voltage increases.
Boost Charging
Also referred to as Absorption stage, the controller will hold the
voltage at the Boost set point, decreasing the current until the battery
is fully charged.
Float Charging
Voltage is reduced to controller set point and held constant, while the
current is reduced to less than 1% of battery capacity. This mode can
be used to maintain a fully charged battery indefinitely
Equal Charging
Controlled over charge where the voltage is brought up above typical
peak charging voltage into the gassing stage, and held for a fixed
period, "equalizing" the electrolyte, removing loose sulphation that
may be on the battery plates
No Charging
Battery is charged or there is no charge to transfer to battery
Temp
Displays the measured temperature* from the BTS
*NOTE: Temperature is displayed in Celsius and Fahrenheit
Error Condition
The Controller will display various Error Conditions; See Section 3.6
