Equalisation Process (For Calcium / Conventional Sealed/WET Batteries Only)
NOTE: We recommend to disconnect the Battery from the Vehicle before using this feature.
Your OzCharge Battery Charger also provides a battery equalisation function.
What does this feature do?? –
Equalisation helps to maintain and balance your battery cells by reversing the
high concentration of electrolytes from the bottom of your battery.
This allows all the cells to charge evenly and makes you get the most out of your battery.
You can use this feature weekly to ensure your battery is always well maintained.
Note:
If you select the Calcium battery type, the charger will automatically run the equalisation stage during the
charging cycle, (You do not need to manually Press the Equalisation Button for Calcium Batteries)
The Equalisation process will not work for GEL Batteries.
To manually activate this equalisation feature for Sealed/Wet Batteries, simply press and release the
‘Equalisation’ Button and the Equalisation LED will turn ON (RED).
Once this feature is activated, the Equalisation feature does not start straight away, it only begins once the
Absorption mode has finished.
Equalisation is indicated by the Absorption GREEN LED Flashing.
Note:
Equalisation Mode will not work if the Charger is in Full Mode. The Button must be pressed during the
charging cycle.
Depending on the charge rate selected, this process will time out after 1 to 12 hours. Depending on charge rate,
battery size and battery condition.
Equalising voltage is set to 15.5V for Sealed / WET Conventional batteries and 16.2V for Calcium batteries.
To prevent the ‘Equalisation’ mode from Starting or to stop ‘Equalisation’ mode for Sealed/Wet Batteries,
simply Press and Release the ‘Equalisation’ Button again and the Equalisation LED will turn OFF.
For manual equalisation, always refer to your battery manufacture’s recommendations / specifications.
4. Disconnecting the Battery charger from Battery.
(a) If the Battery is out of the vehicle.
1. Switch OFF and Remove the AC Power Socket from the outlet.
2. Remove the Black lead and then the Red lead.
3. Check electrolyte levels if possible. (As they may need topping up with distilled water after charging)
(b) If the Battery is in the vehicle.
1. Switch OFF and Remove the AC Power Socket from the outlet.
2. Remove the lead from the vehicle chassis.
3. Remove the lead from the battery.
4. Check electrolyte levels if possible. (As they may need topping up with distilled water after charging)
