If the Conext XW+ will not perform the equalization, see Warning W96 “Cannot
Equalize” in Table 4-3 on page 4–12.

WARNING
EQUALIZATION HAZARD
Only flooded lead acid batteries should be equalize charged. Hydrogen and
oxygen gases are produced when batteries are equalized and can potentially
cause an explosion if ignited. Corrosive battery acid can escape.
Provide adequate ventilation and remove all sources of ignition, such as open
flames, sparks, electric motors, relays, light switches, etc.
Equalization voltage is significantly higher than nominal battery voltage.
Detach electronics that can be damaged by high DC voltage.
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 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 one 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).
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.
