BATTERY CHARGING
Caution
When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas forms
beneath the cover of each cell. Do not smoke near batteries
on charge or which have recently been charged.
Do not break live circuits at the terminals of the batteries
on charge. A spark will occur where the live circuit is
broken.
Keep all open flames away from the battery.
Battery electrolyte temperature may temporarily be allowed to
rise to 55°C (131°F). Increase of electrolyte temperature above
55°C (131°F) is harmful to the battery, causing deformation of
battery cell, decrease in life of battery, etc.
CHARGE RATE
If the test indicator is white, the battery should be charged as
outlined below.
When the dot appears or when maximum charge shown below
is reached, charging should be stopped.
NOTE
When the charging is performed at 5 amps, charging is virtually
100% three hours after the indicator’s indication changes from
white to green.
Use fast charging only in an emergency.
If the indicator does not turn to green even after the battery is
charged, the battery should be replaced; do not overcharge.
