Connect battery terminals to the charge controller BEFORE connecting the solar panel(s) to
the charge controller. NEVER connect solar panels to charge controller until the battery is
connected.
Do NOT connect any inverters or battery charger into the load terminal of the charge
controller.
Once equalization is active in the battery charging, it will not exit this stage unless there is
adequate charging current from the solar panel. There should be NO load on the batteries
when in equalization charging stage.
⚫
Do NOT let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each other.
Recycle battery when it is replaced.
⚫
Over-charging and excessive gas precipitation may damage the battery plates and
activate material shedding on them. Too high of an equalizing charge or too long of
one may cause damage. Please carefully review the specific requirements of the
battery used in the system.
⚫
Equalization is carried out only for non-sealed / vented/ flooded / wet cell lead acid
batteries.
⚫
Do NOT equalize VRLA type AGM / Gel / Lithium cell batteries UNLESS permitted by
battery manufacturer.
