I read the manual this afternoon and i noticed the omitted voltage values for bulk mode and float mode --- but i don't get how you arrived at it not being a three stage charger?


Actually, i think they left those voltage values out of the manual on purpose since (for instance) during bulk charging the voltage values can vary widely due to amount of battery discharge and battery temperature.
