Another fridge question--high DC volatage.
I desperately need to equalise my house batteries. It would be simplist to start with the batteries in their tray and everything connected. Will leaving the fridge OFF be enough or will the 16V DC ...

Thanks all, you are right; I knew that back there somewhere but didn't think of it. It all depends on which pair I can reach, the for the battery out OR the Xantrex Inverter/charger input. One pair is at the front of the tray, the other is at the rear, which cannot be accessed without pulling the front two batteries then dragging the inner two forward.
Since I want to get at this as soon as possible, I think that what I will do tomorrow is see if I can set the Xantex parameters to give me 15.2V bulk, absorption AND float, and set the charge current to 5% of C as recommended by Mexicowanderer on his monograph on charging, top charging and equalizing. This will give me time to find (I hope) a 12 A or 24 (25) A manual charger to finish the equalizing.
I might even be able to get the Xantrex to do it, I'll have to play around with that. The whole problem is exasperated by the fact that we leave for a month in Europe in a week.
This has to do with my previous post Yes it's My Own D**n fault.
