WARNING:
Do not quick charge a battery.
NOTE:
• Never remove the MF battery sealing caps.
• Do not use a high-rate battery charger since it
forces a high-amperage current into the battery
quickly and can cause battery overheating and
battery plate damage.
• If it is impossible to regulate the charging current
on the battery charger, be careful not to
overcharge the battery.
• When charging a battery, be sure to remove it
from the vehicle. (If charging has to be done with
the battery mounted on the vehicle, disconnect the
negative battery lead from the battery terminal.)
• To reduce the chance of sparks, do not plug in
the battery charger until the battery charger leads
are connected to the battery.
• Before removing the battery charger lead clips
from the battery terminals, be sure to turn off the
battery charger.
• Make sure the battery charger lead clips are in full
contact with the battery terminal and that they are
not shorted. A corroded battery charger lead clip
may generate heat in the contact area and a weak
clip spring may cause sparks.
• If the battery becomes hot to the touch at any
time during the charging process, disconnect the
battery charger and let the battery cool before
reconnecting it. Hot batteries can explode!
• As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of an MF battery stabilizes
about 30 minutes after charging has been
completed. Therefore, wait 30 minutes afte
