Operation
Charging
Canbat lead carbon baeries are usually charged using a three-stage charging cycle: bulk, absorpon, and float stages. Bulk is a constant-current stage. The purpose of the bulk stage is to raise the baery voltage to a relavely high level with an inial fast charge. Absorpon is a constant voltage stage. It is established upon reaching the absorb voltage sengs. The baery is considered to be full when the following condions are met: The charge current must taper down to 1% of the total baery amp-hours while maintaining the absorpon voltage. The charger can then exit absorpon and then enter the float stage. The float stage is a maintenance stage which ensures the baery remains fully charged.
Charging Characteriscs
Not all chargers are designed or programmed the same way. Please use the following sengs for chargers, inverter/chargers, and charge controllers.
· Bulk / Absorpon: 14.1-14.4VDC · Equalize (rarely needed): 14.1VDC
Only needed if canbat carbon baeries are stored longer than 3 months, floated more than one year or discharged more than 80%
· Float: 13.62VDC

Temperature Compensaon
To achieve longer baery life, compensate for temperatures above or below 77°F (25°C). For Canbat lead carbon baeries we recommend -30mV/°C (-5mV/cell/°C).
Discharging
Baery capacity depends on the discharge current or discharge rate. If the discharge current is smaller, the discharge capacity will be larger. If the discharge current is larger, the discharge capacity will be smaller.
Discharge Characteriscs
The final voltage is based on the discharge current and the minimum allowed by the system setup.

Recharging
Generally speaking, lead sulfate will be produced on the baery negave plate when they are stored for a long me. Canbat lead carbon baeries can be stored for up to 24 months. Because lead sulfate is an electrical insulator, it negavely affects the performance of the baery. We recommend the following recharge schedule based on storage temperatures.
If a baery is stored under 68°F (20°C), it should be recharged every 9 months, at a constant 13.38V to 13.62V, current limit 0.25C10 for 2 to 3 days.
If it is stored between 68°F and 86°F (20°C to 30°C), it should be recharged every 6 months at 13.8V to 14.4V, current limit 0.25C10 for 10 to 16 hours.
17
If it is stored between 86°F and 104°F (30°C to 40°C), it should be recharged every 3 months at 13.8V to 14.4V (temperature compensated -3mV/°C), current limit 0.1C10 for 8 hours or 0.05 C10 for 16 hours.
Open-Circuit Voltage (OCV) vs. State of Charge (SoC)
The open-circuit voltage of lead acid baeries varies with the specific gravity of the electrolyte. While discharging, the specific gravity of the electrolyte changes greatly but cannot be measured in a closed baery, so the open-circuit voltage is measured and the approximate residual capacity is calculated.
