IMPORTANT: Set battery charger at the nominal 12 volt and no more than 16 volt maximum. If open-circuit voltage is 12.4 volts or less, charge the battery at no more than a 20 ampere rate (approximately 2 hours) until voltage reaches 12.6 volts. IMPORTANT: Batteries which have been stored, particularly for long periods or in warm locations, will require longer charging time. If open-circuit voltage is less than 11.7 volts double the charging time. Be sure to observe all instructions and precautions furnished by the battery charger manufacturer. |
Ventilate the area where batteries are being charged. Do not charge a frozen battery. Warm to 16°C (60°F) before charging. NOTE: Attach a ground strap to negative (-) battery post so that ground connect can be made away from battery. Do not connect or disconnect live circuits. Turn off charger and connect ground cable last, away from battery. Stop or cut back charging rate if battery case feels hot, or is venting electrolyte. Battery temperature must not exceed 52°C (125°F). |
