<div dir="ltr">I recently discovered a critical problem with a client&#39;s SW inverter and I want to know if others have encountered this. <div>It&#39;s an SW4024 with Flooded Lead Acid batteries. The system is configured using the Custom Battery setting: Bulk and Absorption are set to 29.2 V. Equalize is set to 32 V.</div><div>The problem is when Equalize is enabled, the system goes through Bulk and Absorption just fine. However, when it switches to Equalize it doesn&#39;t actually equalize. What I observed was the voltage actually decreased to 0.5 V below the Absorption Voltage setting. </div><div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Eric Smiley, P.Eng.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Project Manager, North Island</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">E:  </span><a href="mailto:eric@vecoop.ca" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,255);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">eric@vecoop.ca</span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">T:  1-888-386-0116 ext 702 (toll free)</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">C:  250-703-6004</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">W:  </span><a href="http://www.viridianenergy.ca" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,255);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">viridianenergy.ca</span></a></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="http://www.viridianenergy.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/zI5FY8yVAfvFf7VtaZc6K9cNYSGpE1vmAIDl5TEHFyy3_574vql1uHlYsUcpSw74Lz3hZPreus9KG7QQL9KzP_xhCNrktRiHtHx_FRhdPY4hstzinUT5SuS21R1VxVC8JdQmMFh-" width="128" height="45" style="border:none"></span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:&quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;;color:rgb(56,118,29);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">RENEWABLE </span><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:&quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;;color:rgb(11,83,148);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">POWER</span><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:&quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;;color:rgb(56,118,29);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> NOW</span></p></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
