A. Cautions in battery inspection and
generator charging.
Inspection: Use gravity gauge to measure
electrolyte. White is fully charged, yellow
means charge is required, and red is broken
or almost totally discharged.
Note: Electrolyte’s specific gravity and
charge level comparison table (20
o
C).

B. Charge by generator
Connecting battery and gener terminals by
“+” with “+” and “-” with “-”.
Warning: Battery releases explosive gas
during charging or use battery. Therefore,
it is dangerous to do so in concealed
location. Please put battery in good
ventilation location during charging, and
forbid fire.
Note:
(1) Standard charging current: 0.6 A for 5~10 hours.
(2) Quick charging current: 6.0 A for 30 minutes.
(3) Please do not use quick charge except for emergency.
(4) Measure the battery voltage 30 minutes after battery is charged.
The battery voltage should be higher than 12.8 V.
C. Battery manufactured month and charge time comparison.
