Explorer 4WD V8-4.6L VIN W (2002)
The chart information summarizes two (2) recommended methods of charging.
NOTE
COLD BATTERIES WILL NOT READILY ACCEPT A CHARGE. THEREFORE, BATTERIES SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO WARM TO
APPROXIMATELY 41° F (5° C) BEFORE CHARGING. THIS MAY REQUIRE 4 TO 8 HOURS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
A battery which has been completely discharged and left in that condition for a prolonged time (such as an unsold vehicle) may be slow to accept a
charge initially, and in some cases may not accept a charge at the normal charger setting. When batteries are in this condition, charging can be started by
use of the "dead battery" feature on chargers so equipped. Follow charger manufacturer's instructions for use of dead battery switch. If switch is the
spring-loaded type, it may need to be held in the ON position for up to 3 minutes.
NOTE
THE BATTERY EYE MAY REMAIN RED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (UP TO SEVERAL DAYS), EVEN AFTER THE BATTERY IS FULLY
CHARGED, BECAUSE THE ACID IS NOT YET FULLY MIXED.
