CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Equalization increases the battery voltage to levels that may damage sensitive DC
loads. Verify all system loads are rated for the temperature compensated Equalize
voltage before beginning an Equalization charge. Excessive overcharging and gassing
too vigorously can damage the battery plates and cause shedding of active material
from the plates. An equalization that is too high or for too long can be damaging.
Review the requirements for the battery being used in your system.
Temperature Compensation
All charging setting are based on 25°C (77°F). If the battery temperature varies by 5°C,
the charging setting will change by 0.15 volts from a 12V battery. This is a substantial
change in the charging of the battery, and the use of the battery sensor is
recommended to adjust charging to the actual battery temperature.
