Oktober 2016 10:37 10 Installing the device MCA1215, MCA1225, MCA1235 5: U phase (float) After the U0 phase, the battery charger switches to conservation charging function (U phase). If DC loads are connected, they are powered by the device. Only if the power required exceeds the capacity of the device is this surplus power provided by the battery. The battery is then discharged until the device re-enters the I phase and charges the battery.
