Equalize The purpose of the Equalize Mode is to deliberately overcharge the battery at a low rate of current to ensure that all cells are fully charged and to reduce the chance of sulfation of the battery. During the Equalize cycle, the cells, which are fully charged, will produce Hydrogen gas, and the cells, which are undercharged, will be brought up to full charge.
Remote Control Option IMPORTANT: This remote is to be used only on Battery Chargers manufactured by Analytic Systems. A remote control panel may be connected to the battery charger using a 9-pin D-connector, which attaches to the side of the battery charger. The remote control panel and D connector are part of the remote control option.
