There is no black and white answer about bulk car chargers, as it depends on the manufacturer and what they consider a stage to be. Your best bet is to consult the manual for your charger or contact the manufacturer.
We've said it before, and we'll repeat it. The best charger to use on a battery is a 3 stage smart charger. They are easy to use and worry-free. You never have to worry about leaving the charger on the battery for too long. It's best if you DO leave it on. When a battery is not at a fully charged state, sulfate crystals build on the plates, and this robs you of power. If you leave your Powersports in the shed during the off-season or for vacations, please connect the battery to a 3 stage charger. This will ensure that your battery will be ready to start whenever you are. Use the link below to browse our selection of intelligent changers and 12v/24v trickle chargers.
Please note that the Car & Home Chargers sold on this website are for wholesale customers only (i.e., cell phone shops, retailers, and variety stores). Car and Home/Travel chargers are essential accessories for cell phones. Most smartphones these days come pre-packed with home chargers, so as a result, car chargers tend to sell better than home chargers. Nonetheless, many people prefer to buy multiple chargers for their home and office, so both home and car chargers sell very well.
The primary purpose of a battery charger is to recharge a battery. This first stage is typically where you will use the highest voltage and amperage the charger is rated for. The charge level you can apply without overheating the battery is known as the battery's natural absorption rate. For a typical 12 volt AGM battery, the charging voltage going into a battery will reach 14.6-14.8 volts, while flooded batteries can be even higher. The gel battery's voltage should be no more than 14.2-14.3 volts. If the charger is a 10 amp charger, and the battery resistance allows for it, it will put out a total of 10 amps. This stage will recharge batteries that are severely drained. There is no risk of overcharging because the battery hasn't even reached full yet.
Smart chargers will detect voltage and resistance from the battery before charging. After reading the battery, the charger determines which stage to charge appropriately. Once the battery has reached 80%* state of charge, the charger will enter the absorption stage. At this point, most chargers will maintain a steady voltage while the amperage declines. The lower current going into the battery safely brings up the charge without overheating it.
