INTRODUCTION
1.6 CHARGING STAGES
Maximum power point tracking is used to charge the batteries with the highest current possible, but this is only part of the
equation. A battery cannot be charged at maximum power all the time for safety reasons, so multiple stages are used.
These stages include bulk, boost, oat and, for some types of batteries, equalization as shown in Figure 1-6.
