Battery Charging

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT and 2015 Hyundai Elantra GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In general, vehicle battery charging system has three forms.

Constant current charge: The battery voltage gradually rises by charging with setting a constant current. If charging current and time are not managed correctly, the battery is over-charged, therefore charging should be stopped after confirming the completion of charging.
1. General charge: Charging the battery for a long time with low current
2. Quick charge: Charging the battery for a short time with high current
Constant voltage charge: The battery charge current is gradually reduced by charging with setting a constant voltage.
Constant current-Constant voltage charge: Charging with constant current and voltage to protect the battery damage
1. Initial Stage: Charging with constant current
2. Last Stage: Charging with constant voltage
  CAUTION: Refer to the instruction manual provided by the battery charger equipment manufacturers for detailed charging procedures and precautions.
