LED The yellow Equalize LED indicates that the Conext XW+ is equalizing batteries.
WARNING
BATTERY TYPE AND SETUP HAZARDS
Incorrect battery configurations or settings for battery types can lead to
dangerously high battery temperature, fire and explosion. To avoid damaging
your batteries during charging or equalization, and to minimize the risk of fire
or explosion consult battery manufacturer's documentation before setting
battery parameters and follow the battery manufacturer's recommended
settings.
• Always use and connect the Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS).
• Always verify that the configured battery type matches the battery type
being used.
• Custom battery settings should be configured by qualified personnel only.
• When using Lithium-Ion batteries, ensure that the battery pack being used
includes a Battery Management System (BMS) with safety controls.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
Note: In a system where more than one device is capable of equalizing batteries
(such as a system including multiple Conext XW+ units and/or Conext Solar
Charge Controllers), there is no system-wide equalization command for all
devices. To equalize with multiple devices, each would have to be enabled
individually. Alternatively, equalization can be performed using only the selected
device. During the equalization process, one device applies the equalization
charge while the other devices continue to operate in synchronized charge
mode, typically in float (three-stage charging) or no-float (two-stage charging).

equalizing the
batteries.
Equalization has been requested but has not
begun. The Conext XW+ must complete a
charge cycle before applying the
equalization charge.
