After the U0 phase, the battery charger switches to conservation charging
function (U phase).
If DC loads are connected, they are powered by the device. Only if the power
required exceeds the capacity of the device is this surplus power provided by
the battery. The battery is then discharged until the device re-enters the I
phase and charges the battery.

Every 12 days, the battery charger switches back to phase 1 for 85 min in

sulphation.
