NNOOTTEE::
Sealed VRLA batteries have an inter-
nal safety valve. If battery pressure in-
creases due to overcharging, the
valve opens to release excess pres-
sure, preventing battery damage.

A battery with a voltage below 11.5 V
requires a special procedure to re-
charge. In charging an over dis-
charged battery, its internal resistance
may be too high to charge at a normal
charging rate.
Set charger to the 10 A charging rate
and monitor charging current for ap-
proximately 30 minutes. If there is no
change in charging current or battery
becomes abnormally hot, the battery
is most likely at the end of its service
life and should be replaced.
