Mar 18, 2024 #6 System Protection Electrical Apr 13, 2023 71 There are current probes that can be installed in series with the battery to detect charging current. Also, some chargers will temporarily drop the float voltage below the battery voltage to ensure the battery is still in the circuit. Kind of a hot topic these days due to TPL-001-5. https://eepowersolutions.com/resour...stem-compliance-with-nerc-standard-tpl-001-5/ https://www.multitel.com/how-to-con...on-non-redundant-station-dc-supply-tpl-001-5/ Upvote 0 Downvote
