Battery Safety
Do
NOT
let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each
other.
Explosive battery gases may be present while charging. Be certain there is
enough ventilation to release the gases.
Be careful when working with large lead acid batteries. Wear eye protection and
have fresh water available in case there is contact with the battery acid.
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.
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.
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.
