T&T: Advice on Equalizing..

[LA Licata]

Just to add to Marin's right-on-the-money advice, if your lead acid  
batteries have those caps that capture water vapor and return it to  
the battery, take them off before equalization. Top off the water of  
all cells before commencing, and while equalizing, watch cell battery  
temp. There is a limit. I think it is 125F. Not 100% sure....

...Make sure your new batteries are able to be equalized.  I believe  
the only battery type that can be equalized are traditional lead- 
acid, or flooded-cell batteries with vented caps.  Sealed, gel-cell,  
etc. batteries should not be equalized.
