Equalize Time-out
Figure 4.6. Equalize Time-out Charging Profile
The charging profile in figure 4-6 above, shows an
Equalize
Timeout
event. The timeout timer begins as soon as battery
voltage exceeds the Absorption voltage setpoint. If there is
insufficient charging current or system loads are too large,
the battery voltage may not reach the Equalize setpoint.
Equalize Time-out is a safety feature that prevents high
battery voltage for extended periods of time which may
damage the battery.
