.
TIP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the charging voltage to 16-17
V.
If the set-
ting is lower, charging will be insufficient.
If
too

the battery will be over-charged.
c. Make sure that the current is h

standard chargi
ng
current written on t

bat-
tery.
TIP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the current is lower than the standard charging
current written on the battery,
se
t the charging
voltage adjust dial at
20-24
V and monitor the
amperage for
3-5
minutes to check the battery.
• Standard charging current is reached
Battery is good.
• Standard charging current
is
not reached
Replace the batter

f.
If charging requires more than 5 hours, it is
advisab
le
to check the chargi
ng
current after
a lapse of 5 hours. If there is any change in
the amperage, readjust t

voltage to obta
in
the standard charging curren

g. Measure t
he
battery open-circuit voltage after
leaving the battery unused for more than 30
minutes.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.7 V
or
less --- Recharging
is
required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery .
