Equalization of batteries
Equalization of batteries
Equalization of batteries should be carried out with batteries that have 0.10V or more of difference between them. They should be connected in parallel for at least 12 hours before charging, notwithstanding the number of units. Equalization is more efficient when the batteries have similar capacities.
  Note
Batteries with less than 11V do not require equalization, because these are considered to have 0% charge.
