NOTE: Equipment damage!
Over-charging and excessive gas precipitation may damage the
battery plates and activate material shedding on them. Too high an
equalizing charge or for too long may cause damage. Please
carefully review the specific requirements of the battery used in the
system.
Certain types of batteries benefit from periodic equalizing charge, which can stir the
electrolyte, balance battery voltage and complete chemical reaction. Equalizing charge
increases the battery voltage, higher than the standard complement voltage, which
gasifies the battery electrolyte.
If the battery is being over discharged, the solar controller will automatically turn to
equalize charging stage, and the equalize stage remain 120mins. Equalize charge and
boost charge are not carried out constantly in a full charge process to avoid too much gas
precipitation or overheating of battery.
