tbs electronics Powersine Combi PSC1800-24-30 Mode D'emploi page 18

charger is only intended as a safety feature, but may not be sufficiently short to prevent
battery damage. Therefore, equalizing a battery is always a process that must continuously
be supervised by the user.
Since equalization is only allowed for flooded (wet-) lead acid batteries, the Powersine
Combi will only allow this function to be available when the "Flooded" charging program
is selected (see chapter 3.3). Besides this, the charger also needs to have a full charge cycle
completed and must operate in the Float stage. When these two conditions are met, the
equalization charge mode can be activated by pressing the recessed pushbutton on the
bottom side of the unit (see image below) for 3 seconds, until all charge status indicators
start flashing.
The Powersine Combi will allow a maximum equalization time of 2 hours before it
automatically jumps back to the Float stage. If the specific gravity of each cell does not
match the battery manufacturer's specifications yet, you can initiate a new 2 hours
equalization cycle by pressing the pushbutton for 3 seconds again. Always keep on checking
the specific gravity of each cell repeatedly during the equalization process. When these
values are correct, you can manually exit the equalization process by pressing the recessed
pushbutton once. The Powersine Combi will then return to the Float stage.
