BATTERY TEST
BATTERY CHARGING
CAUTION:
When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas forms beneath the cover of each cell. Do not smoke near batteries on charge or which have
recently been charged.
Do not break live circuits at the terminals of the batteries on charge. A spark will occur where the live circuit is broken.
Keep all open flames away from the battery. Battery electrolyte temperature may temporarily be allowed to rise to 55°G (131°F). Increase of
electrolyte temperature above 55°C (131°F) is harmful to the battery, causing deformation of battery cell, decrease in life of battery, etc.
CHARGE RATE
If the test indicator is white, the battery should be charged as outlined below.
When the dot appears or when maximum charge shown below is reached, charging should be stopped.
NOTE:
When the charging is performed at 5 amps, charging is virtually 100% three hours after the indicator's indication changes from white to blue.
Use fast charging only in an emergency.
If the indicator does not turn to blue even after the battery is changed, the battery should be replaced; do not overcharge.
