If Hydrocaps are used, be sure to remove them before starting an equalization. Replace the
Hydrocaps with standard battery cell caps. The Hydrocaps can get very hot during an equaliza-
tion. Also, if Hydrocaps are used, the equalization should be set for manual only (DIP switch #7
is Off).
After the equalization is fi nished, add distilled water to each cell to replace gassing losses.
Check that the battery plates are covered.
Equalize a Sealed Battery?
The
Battery Charging Settings
table (see table 4-1 in this section) shows one sealed battery
setting with an Equalization cycle. This is only a 0.1 Volt (12V battery) boost cycle to level indi-
vidual cells. This is not an equalization, and will not vent gas from sealed batteries that require
up to 14.4V charging (12V battery). Many VRLA batteries, including AGM and gel, have charging
requirements up to 14.4V (12V battery). This “boost” charge for sealed cells can be disabled by
setting the equalize setting switch to manual if required.
