X2 how do you do the equalize Mike? special setting?

I think I've seen Diselfuture's tiny little boat with them big heavy batteries. He's only got two inches of freeboard when sittin' in the water. Someone may have a picture of it.

Typically have to have a 200 or 120 Amp battery charger. Using a volt meter turn up the charge to about 15.5 volts.

 

My landlord had a battery in his grey Chevy it was stone dead. I removed it from the truck. Filled all the cells with distilled water and left it on fast charge 60 amp with the cell caps off. When I could smell the hydrogen gas I set a timer for 2 hours. Now that once dead battery is good again and been installed into another truck. If you understand lead acid batteries you can bring them back to life.

 

Do not do this with any seal batteries they can explode!

So where do we go for a charger specific to equalizing batteries? I had a charger that used to do that with automatic timer, but it quit and is only a charger now. The other charger just sends pulses for 24 hours and only does a little bit of the work.

 

I never buy sealed batteries always wet cell that can be maintained proper.

@JAG1 Sorry dude I spaced it off...

 

 

Something similar will work. It has to be a manual select battery charger not a Automatic.
