CAUTION
When using a battery trickle charger, always place the charger on the ground,
or on a suitable elevated surface. Never place the charger on the vehicle or let
it hang from the battery charge port while plugged in.
BATTERY CHARGING
Read all instructions before proceeding with the installation of this battery.
The battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been fully charged at the
factory. Never pry the caps off or add any other fluid to this battery.
The single most important thing about maintaining the battery is to keep it fully
charged. Use a voltmeter to measure DC voltage to determine the battery state
of charge.
WARNING
An overheated battery may explode, causing severe injury or death. Always
watch charging times carefully. Stop charging if the battery becomes very
warm to the touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.
For a refresh charge, follow all instructions carefully.
1. The battery should be disconnected from a load or charger for at least two
hours before checking voltage. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter. A
fully charged battery will register 12.6 V or higher.
2. If the voltage is less than 12.6 volts, recharge the battery at 2 amps or less
until the battery charger indicates charge complete.
3. When using an automatic charger, refer to the charger manufacturer's
instructions for recharging. When using a constant current charger, use the
following guidelines via the table below.
VOLTAGE TABLE
Always verify battery condition before and 1-2 hours after the end of charging.
