Float charging
Float charging is the normal operating mode determined by the battery. The voltage level is to be
set according to the battery manufacturer instructions.
For more information, see the
Manual for monitoring unit PCM2
.

Equalizing charging
Equalizing charging means charging with raised voltage level over a limited period. It is used
partly for the initial charge, and partly for equalizing cell voltages if spread has occurred.
For more information, see the
Manual for monitoring unit PCM2
.
WARNING:
Generally, batteries of VR-type (vent regulated) should not be subject to equalizing
charging. For some battery types equalizing charging could even be harmful to the batteries.
Always follow the instructions stated by the battery manufacturer.

Battery circuit test
A battery circuit test is automatically carried out at optional intervals (normally once a day). The
test involves checking that the entire battery circuit, i.e. not only the battery block is in working
order.
