Equalize Cycle
An equalize cycle is a deliberate overcharge of the battery at a low current to force an
undercharged cell to charge up to match the charge of the good cells in the battery. This cycle
should only be selected once every 6 months or thereabouts as it is hard on the good cells
of the battery and can cause water loss. Initiate an equalize cycle by pressing the Equalize
button. It is recessed onto the charger front panel to prevent accidental activation.
Once pressed, the Equalize light will come on flashing, indicating that an Equalize cycle has
been requested. The charger will wait until the current charge cycle is complete (charge LED
on solid), and the battery temperature is between 20 and 30 degrees C before the Equalize
cycle will start. Once the Equalize cycle starts, the Equalize LED and Charge LED’s will come
on solid and the charger will charge the battery at 10 percent of its rated current for a period
of 3 hours to a maximum voltage of 110% of the float setting. Once complete, the charger
will return to the End of Charge mode. The Equalize cycle will also end if either battery
temperature reaches 40 degrees C.
The Equalize Function is not available if the charger cannot detect at least one battery
temperature sensor.
