EQUALIZING THE MOTIVE BATTERIES
An “equalizing charge” is a controlled overcharge that brings up low cells and/or removes sulfur
from the plates in the Motive Batteries. This process is essential for obtaining full battery
performance. JBT LEKTRO, Inc. recommends performing an equalizing charge every month.
To do this:
1. Wait until the Motive Batteries are fully charged and the Motive Battery Charger has
sequenced through the finishing automatic ON/OFF cycles and is finally shut off.
2. Press the yellow Equalize Button on the Motive Battery Charger.
3. Wait approximately one hour for the automatic equalizing charge to occur.
Note
Some replacement chargers may have a different “equalizing” feature. Refer to the
manufacturer's instructions in this case.
