CAUTION

Only flooded lead acid or AGM batteries should be equalize charged. Running an equalize charge on batteries other than flooded lead acid or AGM types could permanently damage them.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to remove vent caps on AGM batteries. Doing so may void the warranty.

CAUTION

All DC loads should be disconnected during the equalize charge period due to the higher voltage (more than 15 volts DC) applied to the batteries.

Note: The equalizing mode is defeated if GEL cell is selected as the battery type.
