Actually you'll have something that used to cost thousands of dollars.
EQUALIZATION CONTROL
The correct formula the exact and precise mechanism to equalize batteries correctly. Folks are a little slow to understand that 5% of amp hour rating (ie 5.0 amps for a 100 amp hour battery) is magic It does the job fast and complete without damaging the plates. It is important to maintain 5 amps all the way up to 16.0 volts if that is what it takes to put pbso4 back into solution.
The timer is a guarantee that the cycle has a finite safe kWh input limit. For instance the setup rjXj made is perfect. Timer voltmeter, I prefer to also see an ammeter.
A setup like the MW plus the DC to DC converter is so far superior to playtoy SMART chargers for authentic equalization it's actually sad.
And unlike my Dack & Blecker box of hazardous waste, this setup should last a long time. You ought to see the ABSOLUTE GARBAGE B&D purchased as far as a circuit board. Those TO220 silicon rectifiers are mounted on a heatsink smaller than what my rechargeable toothbrush uses. No ROM program from Bombay to frustrate.
And congrats on actually looking into this. You are thinking outside the herd and have the opportunity of actually extending the life of your batteries. Multiple. You'll own this thing for a long time.
