Hello Everyone.

Just a quick question about this controller.

When using the automatic equalization feature, the LED will flash rapidly. How do I know when the batteries have been equalized?

Thanks for everyones input and have a great weekend.

    Stooper,

    As best I can tell, the SB50's EQ function is entirely manual. You release the EQ button to start the process, and you push the button in to stop it.

    HTH,

    crewzer is 100% right and be sure you never put stuff on top of the controller, even temporarilly, as it could activate the eq function. that is one complaint i do have on the sb50 as that was poorly thought out in placing that switch there.
