Battery Charging Cycles
A battery charge cycle describes the voltage and current relationship in a battery as the charger returns the energy capacity to the battery. Different battery chemistries, such as lead acid, Ni-Cad, etc. require different methods of charging. The two charging cycles described below, the Maintenance Charging Cycle and the Three State Charging Cycle, are for Lead-Acid batteries.

Maintenance Charging Cycle

Maintenance type chargers are useful in applications such as battery storage and where there is no requirement to return 100% of the battery capacity by the maintainer.

Three State Charging Cycle

Three state charging is the method most lead acid battery manufacturers recommend as the best and most efficient way to return full capacity to the battery and extend battery life.
