O.K. My batteries were almost completely discharged. I started the charging at 6PM and started the equalizing charge cycle. The forklift is outside my shop under cover, so it has plenty of ventilation. So, tomorrow at 7 AM, I can expect the charger to be on and hopefully stop around 10 AM. Then it will need to cool off for 8 hours?? Is this correct? Also, when am I supposed to check/add water to the unit? After the cooling down period?

I will be the only person charging this unit and operating it. So I'm responsible for the battery maintenance, which is why I'm asking these question, just so I can be clear and start right.
