CAUTION
RISK OF BATTERY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Only the Flooded lead-acid can be equalised. Consult your battery
manufacturer or read the battery manual when you try to equalise your
batteries.
Disconnect any DC load connected to the battery, as during equalise
mode, the charger will produce 15.5V to the batteries. You must monitor
the battery specific gravity throughout the equalisation process to
determine the end of the equalising cycle.
Before setting the equalisation mode on the specific channel, please
be sure the channel chosen for battery equalisation is for a flooded
battery type. When the battery equalisation is started, the charger will
automatically fully charge the selected channel first and follow with
1 hour of equalisation. Check the battery electrolyte level during the
equalisation period. If necessary, refill with distilled water only. All
cells should have similar electrolyte levels. If distilled water is added,
batteries must undergo a complete charge cycle. The charger cannot
determine when to terminate the equalisation of the battery. A one
hour time-out is set and this is used as a safety feature to require the
user to continually re-activate it as necessary after checking batteries
manually.
During equalisation mode the other two banks are disabled.
