I have a series string of 92 each Alcad MC14P NiCad batteries. Need to set up the charger and have some questions.
Alcad recommends 1.40V/c for these batteries but doesn't provide an Equalization voltage or duration, any recommendations?
Also, what would you set for Low Voltage warning, and High voltage warning levels.
Lastly, the charger has an automatic feature for Equalization, where I can program it to perform an equalization cycle every 3 or 6 months. In the past I've only done manual equalization and then only when one cell dropped below 1.35V. Do you think there is a benefit in periodic equalization or is it just stressing the batteries needlessly?
