MAINTAINING MULTIPLE BATTERIES
BatteryMINDer 24041-AA maintenance charger
Desulphators can be used to
maintain up to
three 24-volt batteries at a time, providing each
battery is fully operational (no dead-dying cells),
free of sulphate and meeting the minimum full
charge “rested” (see pg. 9) voltage of 2.13 volts
/ cell, after being fully desulphated. Press the
Maintenance- Float charge button immediately
to ensure BatteryMINDer is in the proper mode
for maintenance charging-desulphating, imme-
diately after making proper connection to the
batteries.
ALL batteries MUST be properly
tested to ensure they are in good condition
(no dead-dying cells or excessive sulpha-
tion) before maintaining them in multiples.
Only healthy, fully desulphated batteries should
ever be MAINTAINED in sets of 2 or more. Test
each cell of All filler cap batteries using an accu-
rate, temperature compensated hydrometer. Test
sealed (no filler caps) batteries using an accurate,
DIGITAL type ONLY, voltmeter. The Minimum volt-
age Must not be less than 2.1 volts / cell after
fully charging battery and letting it “rest” for 12
hours minimum, before testing. If battery voltage
is less than 2.1 / cell you must first desulphate
it until you reach a “rested” (see pg. 9) voltage of
2.1 volts / cell.
Remember, you must desulphate each battery by
itself (one at a time) before maintaining them for
extended periods. Attempting to desulphate more
than one (1) battery at a time will yield very poor
results, as the strongest (healthiest) and not the
weakest (most sulphated) battery will receive the
majority of the desulphation pulse energy.
