    Would this Navy practice be the equivalent of equalization? Do AGM batteries require equalization? If not, does the Navy use them?

      "Forever" I have read that the less (less often and less deeply) the battery is discharged and recharged the longer it will last. Most of this info is from Home Power magazine.

      Until one day years ago on this list when a Navy submarine crewman mentioned that they routinely and periodically discharge and recharge the submarine's propulsion batteries as per the manufacturer's instructions.
