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 Freedom 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 battery status light is on. With
Link Instrumentation, the red charge
LED flashes during the equalizing cycle.
When the equalization cycle is complete,
the charger automatically goes to float and
the green float LED is illuminated.
