Battery Charging
1. Following the charger manufacturer’s instructions, use a battery charger designed for
use with 12-volt batteries. The charger should have a maximum charging rate of 1.8
amps. Charge the battery for approximately 10 hours at a rate of 1.8 amps. If you use
a taper or trickle charger, it will take longer to charge the battery.
2. After charging the battery, allow the battery to sit 1-2 hours before checking the state
of charge with a DC volt meter. The charge should be a minimum of 12.5 DC volts.
Repeat the charging cycle if the charge is less than 12.5 DC volts. Replace the battery
if it fails to reach 12.5 volts after the second charge.
WARNING
The battery may contain explosive gases.
• Keep sparks, cigarettes, or any flame away from the battery.
• Shield eyes and protect skin and clothing when handling or working near the
battery.
• Make sure ventilation is adequate when charging or using the battery in an
enclosed space.
• During charging, if the battery gets very hot to the touch, stop charging and let
the battery cool down before continuing.
