Press the <+ MODE> soft key to move the “ G“ to the EQ option. When the G is to the left of EQ, press the <GO> soft key.

11. EQ—Battery Equalize

The intent of an equalization charge is to bring all battery cells to an equal voltage. Sealed batteries should not be equalized unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer. Shut off or minimize all loads on the battery. When equalizing, be sure the EQ voltage will not damage any still energized DC load. If possible, ensure the EQ cycle starts and stops the same day it is initiated or unnecessary battery gassing will occur.

Occasional equalization extends the life of flooded electrolyte batteries.

Proceed with caution! A vent fan is recommended in enclosed spaces.

The FLEXmax 80 allows the user to set voltages and times of equalization process.

Both manual and auto modes are available.

EQ voltage is not battery temperature compensated.

Always check the electrolyte level in the batteries before and after equalizing.
