I thought equalisation was intended to stir up the electrolyte, to
correct the fact that over time, the sulphate ions drift downwards,
so that there's a gradient of electrolyte concentration, denser at
the bottom and lighter at the top.
I've tried to make my Victron to do this, performing the little
rapid switching bit as described in the manual, but it declines to co-
operate, in this as in so much else.
All the best
