Hi Bob, I would rather it be worded "maximum normal operating voltage". Maximum operating voltage would be the recommended BULK voltage for the battery type being utilized. Equalization is a maintenance procedure, which is why it calls for separate listing. It must also include polarity of grounded conductor.

We have an off-grid system which employs energy storage [i.e.; batteries]; so I need to know what exactly is referred to when this section mentions “maximum operating voltage” so I can put it on a sign.
