4.2 Battery charging
Correct battery maintenance will reduce the risk of premature battery
failure.
Incorrect handling of a battery can be extremely dangerous, so the
following precaution must be observed.
Make sure each electrolyte level is to the bottom of vent-wells, if
necessary, add only distilled water in a well-ventilated place.
To charge the battery slowly, connect the charger positive terminal to
the battery positive terminal, and negative to the negative.
“Quick recharging” charges the battery at a high rate in a short time,
and should only be used in emergencies.
Recharge the battery as early as possible, or battery life will be
extremely shortened.
When exchanging an old battery into a new one, use a battery of
equal specifications.
To avoid personal injury:
– When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and
oxygen gases in the battery are extremely explosive.
Keep open sparks and flames away from the
battery at all times, especially when charging the
battery.
– When charging the battery, remove the battery
vent plugs.
– When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal, and when
connecting them, start with the positive terminal
first.
– DO NOT check the battery charge by placing a
metal object across the terminals. Use a voltmeter
or hydrometer.
The battery comes in two types: refillable and no
refillable!
– When using the refillable type battery follow these
instructions:
• Do not use or charge the battery if its fluid level
stands bellow the lower (lower limit level) mark.
Otherwise, the battery component parts may
deteriorate earlier than expected, which may
shorten the battery’s service life or cause an
explosion. Immediately, add distilled water until
the battery’s fluid level is between the UPPER
and LOWER levels.
To avoid personal injury:
– Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte contact
your body or clothing.
– Wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since the
diluted sulfuric acid solution burns skin and eats
holes in clothing. Should this occur, immediately
wash it off with running water and get medical
attention.
