"Equalization" is a deliberate OVER CHARGE, done on an already FULL battery. Charging at 14.9v at anything less than a FULL battery, in no way constitutes an Equalization/over charge. If the OP is doing his normal daily re-charge routine, during the day, on a discharged bank, at 14.9v, he is only doing a typical constant voltage (i.e; abs) charge. Every three days, every 8th day, or every day, it makes no difference whatsoever.
If those who marketeer chargers decide that "float mode" means you should park your rv in the lake, while charging, is anyone here going to abide by their dogma?
Moreover, when one reads in a user manual about a charger going into "EQ mode", be it every 21 hours, or once a week, or whatever, it is referring to when the ALREADY FULL battery has been in maintenance/float mode for that period of time.
