General Guidelines
EQUALIZATION-
•
Do not equalize gel types or starved electrolyte types (Starved electrolyte batteries are
batteries such as absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries in which the electrolyte is minimal and
is contained in the plate separators).
•
Equalize once every 30 days if medium cycled service. Less if battery spends most of time in
Float mode.
CHARGING-
•
Max charge current is typically 20-30% of batteries total capacity
•
Do you think the charger is going to float stage too soon? --
♦
Turn battery size pot CCW to decrease return amps.
♦
Decrease charge rate if on grid power.
♦ Make sure battery reaches gassing point if liquid type.
♦ Turn charge pot down below 70% of max to disengage sync FETS to aid charging.
