is the blinkey pulse charge like an equalizing charge for lead acid wet cells?sorry for so many questions all at once. we should have a charge info section for this forum?
To my knowledge, the blinking never ends. The rate of the blink is significant. The initial blinking is an analysis mode, then the solid lights for charge, then a quick blink for balancing and top off charge, then a slow blink to do a final balance and maintenance. This final slow blink will remain as long as they have power.

At least the above has been my understanding.

Also, some years ago, I switched to a timer, so that the batteries are not on charge for extended periods of time. My timer is only active for about 8 hours a day, so even if not used, it will will go thru all those cycles daily.
