Equalization

CAUTION
Proper equalization is necessary for the health of the pack. Too little equalizing may lead to
sulfation and decreased capacity, whereas excessive equalizing may lead to high water loss
and more maintenance. We recommend equalizing at least once a week, possible more with
heavy usage.
The equalization schedule is stored in the BMID and run automatically (see the "BMID
Programming and Advanced Features Manual" for information on how to modify the pre-set
equalization schedule). To manually schedule an equalization during a charge, press the
"Equalize" button at any time during a charge, the equalize light will start flashing indicating an
equalization is scheduled, and the battery pack will be equalized following the fast charge.
To bypass the fast charge and start an equalization charge on a battery pack at any state of
charge, press and hold the "Equalize" button for three (3) seconds, the equalize light will
illuminate without flashing, and the charger will start a full equalization on the pack without a fast
charge.
Note: The charger EQ button may be configured to only work under certain conditions (day of
week, etc.). Please review the advanced features manual for details.
