Terminating the Equalization Process

To stop the equalization process, press the reset switch on the
right side of the unit until the status LED stops alternating
between red and green.

If the equalization process was shorter than one hour, the
controller will continue with a bulk charge cycle and then
hold the battery at the bulk setting for one hour (the
absorption stage) before returning to the float setting.

Temperature Compensation

For optimal battery charging, the Bulk and Float charge rates
should be adjusted according to the temperature of the
battery. When battery charging voltages are compensated
based on temperature, the charge voltage will vary depending
on the temperature around the batteries.
