What is multi stage charging?
Multi stage charging is when the battery is charged up to different voltages. For example, the battery can be charged up to 14.8 volts, then the controller drops the voltage down to a float or maintenance charge of 14.1. The higher voltage allows the battery to charge up faster and achieve a higher state of charge than if the charge is terminated at a lower voltage. This higher voltage should can be maintained or overcharging would occur, so the controller must drop the voltage down.
