    RECORD KEEPING Upon completion of the acceptance test, the battery system CONT. should be placed on float charge at 2.25 volts per cell to restore the battery to its’ rated capacity. Batteries should not require an equalization charge once they have passed their initial acceptance test. Consult with East Penn Reserve Power’s Product Support group before performing additional equalizing charges on batteries that have successfully passed their initial acceptance test.
