Later chargers are thought of as 'smart' chargers and act as both by using a conductive test on the battery. Sounds like you have a modern smart charger, in this case the charger is doing its job. Constant voltage chargers operate at a set voltage and the current drops from a high to a low on charging. Constant current chargers charge at a set rate and the voltage drops off. Smart chargers check the conductivity of the battery and adjust to best for that battery. | |
