To enter equalize charge mode using the RC7 or RC/GS:
◆
When the inverter/charger is charging, press and hold the Settings button
(right arrow) until the screen clears and “Equalizing” appears (approximately
6 seconds).
The Charge LED will increase its flashing rate to approximately 8 flashes per
second (flickering). The Equalize charge will continue for 3 hours and then
automatically change back to Float.
To cancel Equalize mode:
◆
Press and hold the Settings button for approximately 6 seconds.
If Equalization is cancelled, the screen will indicate the System Status as
Absorption chg for approximately 30 seconds before returning to Float charging.
CAUTION: Batteries may be damaged
Sealed lead-acid batteries and gel batteries must NEVER be equalized, or premature
battery failure will result. Equalize mode is disabled if you have selected “GEL Cell” as
the battery type.
Only flooded lead-acid batteries should be equalized. As a general rule, do not equalize a
battery unless there are provisions to add water to it and the manufacturer recommends
equalization.
CAUTION: Batteries may be damaged
If carried out too frequently or done improperly, equalization can damage your batteries.
Never equalize a battery more than necessary. Always check electrolyte level before AND
after equalization. Fill with distilled water per the battery manufacturer’s
recommendation.
CAUTION: Risk of damage to DC load equipment
Equalization voltage may be as high as 15.5 volts DC. Disconnect sensitive loads from the
battery before equalizing.
