3.8.1 Automatic equalization
Automatic equalization is default set to 'OFF'. With the Victron
Connect app (see sect 3.9) this setting can be configured with a
number between 1 (every day) and 250 (once every 250 days).
When automatic equalization is active, the absorption charge
will be followed by a voltage limited constant current period (see
table in section 3.5). The current is limited to 8% of the bulk
current for all VRLA (Gel or AGM) batteries and some flooded
batteries, and to 25% of the bulk current for all tubular plate
batteries and the user defined battery type. The bulk current is
the rated charger current unless a lower maximum current
setting has been chosen.
In case of all VRLA batteries and some flooded batteries
(algorithm number 0, 1, 2 or 3) automatic equalization ends
when the voltage limit maxV has been reached, or after
t = (absorption time)/8, whichever comes first.
For all tubular plate batteries and the user defined battery type
automatic equalization ends after t = (absorption time)/2.
When automatic equalisation is not completely finished within
one day, it will not resume the next day, the next equalisation
session will take place as determined by the day interval.
