3.0 OPERATION
4. Equalizing Charging (Liquid Lead Acid and AGM Batteries ONLY)
To activate the Equalize mode, press and hold the Settings push-button
(RIGHT arrow) until the LCD display 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.
NOTE: Equalizing the batteries should only be done when the batteries are fully
charged (i.e., from Float mode) and only on liquid lead acid or AGM batteries.
Vent caps on batteries (lead acid only) should be removed prior to running the
Equalize mode. If the Equalization charge mode is cancelled, (by pressing and
holding the Settings push-button for approximately 6 seconds) the LCD display
will indicate the System Status as Absorption chg for approximately 30 seconds
before returning to Float charging.
CAUTION: Only Liquid Lead Acid or AGM batteries should be equalize charged.
Running an equalize charge on batteries other than liquid lead acid or AGM
types could permanently damage them.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove vent caps on AGM batteries. Doing so may
void the warranty.
CAUTION: All dc loads should be disconnected during the equalize charge
period due to the higher voltage applied to the batteries (15+ volts dc). Refer to
the inverter manual Equalize Charging section for details.
NOTE: The equalizing mode is defeated if GEL cell is selected as the battery
type.
