Equalization off Generator

hawkeye99 · December 2015

Hello,

I'm wondering how to equalize my batteries , here is the situation I find myself in......I do not have enough power coming in this time of year in Canada to perform an equalization off of my Solar Power via the Mppt......and it looks as though the charging(iota) unit I have doesn't allow for overcharging......I'm looking for a solution so I guess I'm wondering what products or chargers you might suggest moving forward that allows me to eqaulize off my generator.

Here are some of the specs

1. Cotek 2000 pure sine inverter
2.. Tristar MPPt-45 amp controller
3. Iota 55 amp battery charger

4. 4ea. Rolls Surrette S530 batteries now called S550

5. 3ea. 250 watt solar panels

Thanks

Are you able to get the batteries realtively well into absorb using the genset one evening/ early in the next day then let the tristar do the rest of absorb and EQ?
