Liketoride2,
If you're really serious about EQ'ing those 6 volters, they should be done individually. This means charging one at 7.5-8v. In order to do this, I bought the gophert cps-1620 ($110, incl shipping, on aliexpress). You can read my results on page 40 of "when should a pm4b go into float".
Barring that, or getting an actual "constant current" unit, any decent power supply like mega watt or mean well will work. And BFL talks highly of his b&d vec1093's ability to do a good charge and EQ. But for amp/dollar ratio, the mega watt takes it hands down, at only $1.67 / amp.
Is this the mega watt unit you referred to?

If so it certainly is a cost effective way to do a 15.5 volt equalizing charge. Since, according to Trojan, this only needs to be done anywhere from once a month to once a year, it would be nice to find something economical since it's used so infrequently. Thanks again.
