BATTERY CHARGING
1. Do not equalize gel cell batteries.
Check remote default settings.
2. Always monitor the equalize charge
cycle. Provide proper ventilation for
battery fumes. Do not allow any sparks
during equalizing. If one or more cells begin
to overflow, terminate the equalize cycle.
3. Check the battery electrolyte both
before and after the equalizing charge.
Do not expose the battery plates to air.
Leave the battery caps on while equalizing.
Top off after equalizing.
4. Remove all loads from the DC system
before equalizing. Some DC loads may
not tolerate the high charge voltage.
5. With the Remote Control Panel the
battery state-of-charge LEDs sequence
during equalizing. When the equalization
cycle is complete, the charge automatically
goes to float and the green float LED bat-
tery status light is on.
