Trojan SCS 200 Equilazation Follow Up

Being current throttled, the voltage will start out wherever it may then rise slowly. This is why it is so important to start out with a 14.7 volt initial charge until amperage flattens. Immediately disconnect then let the battery cool to ambient temp. Dip the cells, record readings, then start the 5% constant amperage charge. Stop the charge if voltage reaches 16.0 regardless of amperage. Let sit overnight then dip again.

If the battery fails to regain full electrolyte density then it is a goner.

I've seen electrolyte gain, .015 overnight although that isn't the best sign of good battery health.
