Multiplus 2 48v equalisation voltage

Hi all
I have set up my absorption and float voltages on my Multiplus 2 48/8000/110, however it will not allow me to set the equalisation voltage and it tells me using the traction battery preset that the system can get to 68V, my battery supplier has said they should be taken to 62V.
Is there any other way to set the equalisation voltage, I know you can adjust it if it was an MPPT ?

Traction batteries require regular additional charging. In the equalisation mode, the MultiPlus-II will charge with increased voltage for one hour (1V above the absorption voltage for a 12V battery, 2V for a 24V battery). The charging current is then limited to 1/4 of the set value. The ‘bulk’ and ‘absorption’ LEDs flash intermittently.

Thanks for ACCEPTED ANSWER

Many thanks.

Not sure how I missed that in the manual.

Having searched further in to this it appears I am not alone in having this issue.
Seems like we are stuck with the equalisation voltage that Victron gives us if using a Multiplus 2, which is a bit lame when it is considerably different to the manufacturers settings.

Are you sure about the equalisation voltage the batteries should have?
