Manual Equalization

Manual equalization of the battery can be enabled by pressing
the Reset Switch on the right side of the

C-Series

until the

status LED indicator begins to alternate between red and
green. This could take about 10 seconds.

The equalization process will continue until the batteries have
been held at or above the bulk setting for two hours of
accumulated time. Once the battery voltage has been at or
above the bulk setting for a cumulative period of two hours,
the

C-Series

will return to the float stage of the charging

process.

During the equalization process, the status LED will alternate
between red and green and will not provide any other
mode/status indication. Large battery banks may need several
equalization cycles to fully stir the electrolyte and charge the
cells. These cycles should follow one another until the battery
voltage reaches the upper limit for the full two hours.
