I am picking up eight Trojan L16P batteries tomorrow. They are 420ah (C20) and have a manufacture date of June 2015.
I am going to borrow a large cart type charger from a friend. Pretty sure it has manual settings as well as an auto mode and will also charge 6v batteries.
Shall I just charge them at 40a on the auto mode and be done or should I do a manual equalization? If I should manually equalize at what amps and for how long. I left my hydrometer at the barn where they will be installed which is a couple days drive so I won't have a hydrometer to check until I get them installed.
Thanks for any advice.
