MAINTAINING MULTIPLE BATTERIES
BatteryMINDer 24041-AA-S1 maintenance char-
ger Desulfators can be used to
maintain up
to three 24-volt batteries at a time, providing
each battery is fully operational (no dead-dying
cells), free of sulfate and meeting the minimum
full charge “rested” (see pg. 9) voltage of 2.13
volts / cell, after being fully desulfated. Press the
Maintenance- Float charge button immediately
to ensure BatteryMINDer is in the proper mode
for maintenance charging-desulfating, imme-
diately after making proper connection to the
batteries.
ALL batteries MUST be properly
tested to ensure they are in good condition
(no dead-dying cells or excessive sulfation)
before maintaining them in multiples.
Only
healthy, fully desulfated batteries should ever
be MAINTAINED in sets of 2 or more. Test each
cell of All filler cap batteries using an accurate,
temperature compensated hydrometer. Test
sealed (no filler caps) batteries using an accurate,
DIGITAL type ONLY, voltmeter. The Minimum volt-
age Must not be less than 2.13 volts / cell after
fully charging battery and letting it “rest” for 12
hours minimum, before testing. If battery voltage is
less than 2.13 / cell you must first desulfate it until
you reach a “rested” (see pg. 9) voltage of 2.13
volts / cell.
Remember, you must desulfate each battery by
itself (one at a time) before maintaining them for
extended periods. Attempting to desulfate more
than one (1) battery at a time will yield very poor
results, as the strongest (healthiest) and not the
weakest (most sulfated) battery will receive the
majority of the desulfation pulse energy.
