Equalizing Flooded Batteries
3.Press and hold for five seconds the Charger Mode Select button and Battery Temp Select button at the same time to put the Truecharge2 Battery Charger into equalization mode.
IMPORTANT: The onboard display and remote panel buttons will not allow selection of equalization for AGM and GEL batteries.
When the charger is performing the equalization, the Equalize LED illuminates as a solid light. It will flash intermittently when programmed prior to reaching float or rest mode.
4.Monitor the specific gravity of each cell of the battery during equalization with a battery hydrometer.
NOTE: The equalization cycle is preset to last for one hour. It is not possible to program another equalization cycle when the present cycle has not ended yet.
Carefully check the specific gravity of each cell and repeat the equalization cycle until they all meet the battery manufacturer’s specifications for specific gravity or until the specific gravity stabilizes relative to each other for an hour.
The charger automatically exits equalization to float mode or rest mode after one cycle. To manually exit equalization mode early, repeat Step 3.
5.Check the battery electrolyte level. If necessary, refill with distilled water only and repeat a normal charge cycle.
