MAINTAINING MULTIPLE BATTERIES
BatteryMINDer 12248-A-ODY maintenance charger Desulphators
can be used to maintain up to six (6) 12-volt batteries at a
time, providing each battery is fully operational (no dead-dying
cells), free of sulphate and meeting the minimum full charge
“rested” (see pg. 9) voltage of 2.13 volts / cell, after being fully
desulphated. ALL batteries Must be properly tested to ensure
they are in good condition (no dead-dying cells or excessive
sulphation) before maintaining them in multiples.
Only healthy, fully desulphated batteries should ever be
MAINTAINED in sets of 2 or more. Test sealed batteries using an
accurate, DIGITAL type ONLY, voltmeter. The Minimum voltage
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 desulphate it until you
reach a “rested” (see pg. 9) voltage of 2.13 volts / cell.
Remember, you must desulphate each battery by itself (one at a
time) before maintaining them for extended periods. Attempting to
desulphate more than one (1) battery at a time will yield very poor
results, as the strongest (healthiest) and not the weakest (most
sulphated) battery will receive the majority of the desulphation
pulse energy.
Only batteries of the SAME type (engine starting or deep cycle
(but not together), as well as SAME chemistry-construction such
as AGM-ODYSSEY should be maintained together. Never mix
batteries of different type construction / chemistry, or condition
(old with new). ALWAYS test each individual battery to be certain
it is healthy and free of sulphate before attempting to charge
or maintain them, either as a single battery or in sets. NEVER
