charger on. Reversing polarity when charging can
damage electrical components and risk personal injury.
Be careful not to let battery cable clamps touch each
other.
3. After the charging sequence has initiated, disconnect
the fully-charged battery. Always disconnect the fully-
charged battery positive first, followed by low battery
positive, low battery negative, and finally fully-
charged battery negative.
4. Proceed with charging both batteries to full capacity.
Listed in the table below are the approximate
charging times for deeply discharged batteries.
Always use the recommended automatic battery
charger, and wait for the charger to complete the

TESTING
Test the battery using the PU-50296 battery tester. If the
test fails, fully charge the battery.
If the battery is too low to accept a charge, see AGM
Battery Charging - Deeply Discharged (Below 3 Volts)
page 12.19.
If the tester indicates a test result other than “Good
Battery,” follow the steps below before replacing the
battery:
1. Connect battery to the recommended battery charger.
If charging sequence begins as normal, fully charge
battery and proceed to step 3.
The time listed on the PU-50296 battery tester
printout is an estimate. The recommended automatic
charger will indicate when the battery is fully charged
on its display.
2. If charging sequence does not initialize, refer to AGM
Battery Charging - Deeply Discharged (Below 3 Volts)
page 12.19 to attempt to restore the deeply
discharged battery. If charging sequence will not
finish as intended, the battery needs to be replaced.
3. Re-test battery. If the test results show that battery
failed, proceed with battery replacement.
