Conditioning is reserved for VRB sealed batteries. Equalization is to bring all flooded battery cells to uniform density. Desulfation is used when a flooded battery sits for a long time and none of the cells can reach OEM density.
I coined the term "top charge" to bring a flooded battery that has cells less than full density but still well above hard sulfation stage back to OEM density.
It is to apply 5% total ampere hour constant current (amperage) charge to the cells until such time as the cells reach 15.0 volts, then terminate the charge.
If any fool of a battery OEM wants to go toe-to-toe with me and declare the BCI equalization regimen invalid, bring them on. Fully charge battery. Let it cool, then apply 5% total ampere hour constant current charge until such time as the cell gravity is corrected to OEM density or cell voltage reaches 16.0 then terminate the current. It sometimes takes hours for cell gravity to ascend from end of equalization to full density (partially due to temperature non correction).
Flaky manufacturers want to shuck and jive, use buzzwords, miracle innovation trickery, anything they can get their hands on to entice people into buying their product. In the end, the consumer ends up with the poorest value on the market and the OEM ends up with the most money in their pocket. This warping of manufacturing ethics does not sit well with me.
Not battery related but remember the fraud of Underwriters Laboratories and ETL listing on Chinese products I posted several months ago? Nobody in out stinking government is interested in even investigating the outrageous defrauding of consumer safety.
What has happened to our country?
