CHARGING TIPS
•To avoid a battery explosion, never attempt to charge a frozen
battery.
•Warning: Gel and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries require a
voltage-limited charger. Charging a Gel or AGM battery on a typical
shop charger, even one time, may greatly shorten its life.
•Important: Never overcharge batteries. Excessive charging will
shorten battery life.
•Prior to charging, read the manufacturer's instructions for proper
charger hook-up and use.
•Turn off charger prior to hook-up to avoid dangerous sparks.
PROTECT YOUR EYES!
•Warning: If the electrolyte is accessible, verify that plates are
covered before beginning to charge. At the end of charge, add
distilled water as needed to bring levels to the proper height. If
water is added, charge for an additional 30 minutes to mix. If
electrolyte levels are low but battery is not accessible, remove
battery from service.
•The maximum charge rate in amperes should be no more than 1/3
of the battery's reserve capacity minute rating. If the terminal
voltage exceeds 16.0 volts while charging, reduce the charge rate.
•Continue charging and reduce the rate as needed until a 2 hour
period results in no increase in voltage or decrease in current.
•If violent gassing or spewing of electrolyte occurs, or the battery
case feels hot to the touch, temporarily reduce or halt charging.
