The unit’s log (see Section 4.7.1) will record the completion of the
equalization charge.
WARNING
Risk of serious personal injury or damage to equipment and
property! Always observe the following:
•
Equalize charging is intended for flooded lead-acid batteries
only and may produce higher than normal levels of
hydrogen gas.
•
Do not use equalization charging with lithium-ion
batteries
.
•
Ensure the battery compartment is well ventilated to avoid
any risk of explosion.
•
Always consult with battery manufacturer and observe all
battery manufacturer recommendations.
Equalize Voltage:
Set this to the battery manufacturer’s recommended
value for an equalize (or boost) charge (for flooded lead-acid batteries
only). A regular high voltage equalize charge will help prevent
stratification of the electrolyte in the battery and can help extend its life.
The default setting varies based on the power modules installed.

Equalize Duration:
Set the time in minutes (10–240 minutes) for the
equalize charge voltage to be applied (as recommended by the battery
manufacturer). The default setting is 60 minutes.
Equalize Interval:
Set the time in days (0–180 days) between automatic
equalize charges. Set this time to 0 to disable the automatic equalize
charge. The default setting is 0 (Disabled).
Day of Week:
Set the day of the week that the automatically recurring
equalize charge should take place or select "Any" to allow an equalize
charge to take place on any day of the week. Day of Week takes
precedence over Equalize Interval. The default setting is Any.
Start Time:
Set the time of day for automatically recurring equalize
charges to start. The time must be entered using 24-hour time format.
The default setting is 00:00.
