                 Disadvantages:

1.       The transition point Absorption/Float is 4.7A. A battery can be charged to about 50% of full capacity. See charge curve below.

2.        A battery will be discharged when unplugged charger is connected to battery for long time. Back flow current is 80mA-200mA

3.       Type of batteries: Lead-Acid or Nickel-Cadmium only.
