Can you guys please lay me out again regarding equalization charge. These are 8v flooded batteries. Im able to trick my charger and say its a 10v battery and then adjust the individual cell voltage down to 2.16v. It only goes up to 2.60v and according to trojan i want to equalize at 2.7v
My question is about amperage. Im pretty sure trojan is saying i can charge at 20% of C20 to get up to the 2.7v per cell. But then i remember mex saying to use 5amp constant. Or maybe it was 10a. I know this came up several times over the last few years.
For really old batteries that we have been nursing for years, should i bring it up slowly with a 5a charge? Or that a waste of time?
