Equalize a Sealed Battery?
The Battery Charging Settings table (see table 4-1 in this section) shows one sealed battery set-
ting with an Equalization cycle. This is only a 0.4 Volt boost cycle to level individual cells. This is
not an equalization, and will not vent gas from sealed batteries that require up to 57.60 V charg-
ing (48 V battery). Many VRLA batteries, including AGM and gel, have charging requirements up
to 57.6 V (48 V battery). This “boost” charge for sealed cells can be disabled by setting the equal-
ize setting switch to manual if required.
