Battery is fully charged at a specific gravity of 1.285. This
is a calcium/lead type battery and requires a higher
charging voltage than normal. If performance is poor, this
battery will likely need to be equalized on every charge
cycle. It is very important to check electrolyte level
regularly when equalizing on every charge cycle. Set
battery size 20% lower than actual battery capacity.

Set to GEL Do not Equalize. The “Gel” setting should give you the
best performance with your batteries. However, if you
suspect your batteries need equalizing, charge them once
using the “Flooded” setting. Set back to Gel when batteries
return to “Ready”.

This battery performs poorly with Xantrex charging
products. Try setting to “Cold” for all ambient
temperatures if battery does not charge. Try equalizing on
every charge cycle. Full charge may take 2 or more
equalization charge cycles.
