I recently discovered a critical problem with a client's SW inverter and I want to know if others have encountered this. It's an SW4024 with Flooded Lead Acid batteries. The system is configured using the Custom Battery setting: Bulk and Absorption are set to 29.2 V. Equalize is set to 32 V. The problem is when Equalize is enabled, the system goes through Bulk and Absorption just fine. However, when it switches to Equalize it doesn't actually equalize. What I observed was the voltage actually decreased to 0.5 V below the Absorption Voltage setting.
