EQ—BATTERY EQUALIZE
The intent of an equalization charge is to bring all battery cells to an equal voltage. Sealed batter-
ies should not be equalized unless speci cally instructed by the manufacturer. Shut o or minimize
all AC and/or DC loads when equalizing and be sure the EQ voltage will not damage any DC load.
If possible, ensure the EQ cycle starts and stops the same day it is initiated or unnecessary battery
gassing can occur.
Occasional equalization extends the life of  ooded electrolyte batteries.
Proceed with caution! A vent fan is recommended in enclosed spaces.
The MX60 allows the user to set voltages and times of equalization process.
Both manual and auto modes are available.
• EQ is not battery temperature compensated.
Always check the electrolyte level in the batteries before and after equalizing.
