Hi william My experience shows me that first filling with water to normal full mark and then eq provides the best results
Many years ago I had my own battery bank that needed an eq. Newer batteries well maintained They were low on water but within the normal range. After 2 eq the sg were not moving as much as I expected. After filling and giving it a few days of normal charging to mix I eq again and the numbers came out perfectly. Every battery I’ve done this technique with has worked well. It was explained this way to me. With less water you have higher acid ratio meaning you need a higher charge voltage to eq making it harder to achieve. Higher voltages create higher heat causing more damage to the battery.
