Re: (ET) Dan's 2/10A charger

["Dave & Deb" <daveb drizzle com>]

oh ok... thanks for correcting that...

so another question then...  on my car I do an equalization charge about 
every 10
or 12 cycles by turning up the voltage and leaving it for several hours.  
I was
thinking I needed to do that with etrak as well and this charger wouldn't 
allow
it...
but maybe it's built into the algorithm??  I'm new enough to all this yet 
that I
couldn't really get the answer out of the literature that came with the 
charger.
