Battery Charged Condition
When charged, the battery will only accept a charge to replace the losses within the battery
(approximately 1mA per AH of battery). If there is a standing load (the panel controller, etc.)
the charger will output the standing load plus the losses to the battery. If a standing load of 1A
is present with 50AH Vented Lead Acid batteries then the charger will supply 1.05 amps.
A charged battery with open circuit terminals (no load connected) will always be higher than
nominal battery voltage (12.6 on a 12V lead acid battery).
